![]() Highly recommended to those who loved mythology and those who are in desperate need of witty humor. I couldn't help myself but laugh when I read this version of the story about Cupid and Psyche. ![]() In this one, Cupid is painted as a wimpy geek with a not so attractive feature but fancies Psyche. #NICE SHOT CUPID SERIES#'Nice Shot, Cupid!' is a part of Myth o Mania series and it will surely make you go wacko with the re-tellings of famous mythological stories. , This is definitely one book your mythologist would definitely won't approve of. I recommend this for those looking for a fun, light-hearted read at the middle-grade and even elementary-grade level. And I love the sense of humor that Hades possesses. I love how strong and beautiful Psyche is, and how true she remains to her love even after seeing Cupid in all his teen glory. I love how Cupid reminds us of any teenage boy suffering from puberty. The story follows Hades as he does everything in his power to help Cupid gain more confidence in himself and arrange a happily ever after for Cupid and Psyche. Instead, he kidnaps her and doesn't let her look at him. So when he falls in love with Psyche, a beautiful mortal princess, he decides not to take chances courting her in person. Of course, since Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty, she does everything in her power to provide beauty products for him, making him feel disheartened by his appearances. ![]() In fact, he's suffering from normal teenage beauty problems-pimples and braces and a gangly teenage body. While it isn't the best series to offer children when you want to teach them what we know as the Greek myths, it does make for an enjoyable read, especially when you already know the stories! In this story, Cupid isn't as hot as you think the god of love should be. She has modernized the Greek gods and goddesses, giving them unique personalities and very human problems. Hilarious - one of our favorite series!, Reading Nice Shot, Cupid! reminded me of how much I love McCullan's Myth-O-Mania series, where Hades tells us the 'true' stories behind Greek myths. Narrator, Hades, King of the Underworld, is here to shine some light on what really happened. ![]()
