Summary: Evil gods, ugly cyclops, death, and destruction
Review: Can you imagine a beautiful land where magic rules with nymphs, fairies, and leprechauns? Looks can be deceiving. This wonderful place is ruled by evil gods, ugly Cyclops, death, and destruction. This destruction may become worse or it may cease when seven kids from New York appear there. The name of the novel as you probably already know is Gateway to the Gods which is part of a series called Everworld written by K.A. Applegate. This particular story takes place in the Greek part of Everworld, where it's always temperate, always light, and always summer. It takes place in 2000 but the technology dates way back to the 1800's. There's no need for technology when there's magic. The protagonist is Christopher Hitchcock, he's funny at the wrong times but brave and outgoing at the right times. He's about seventeen, it doesn't say in the book but he can drive, and also goes to high school. The main conflict for Chris was to hold off enemy troops at Mt. Olympus which becomes impossible.
I think all together it's a great series and although this book was not the best book in the series it wasn't bad either. Applegate twists history and fantasy into a great book for readers from ages 13 to 21. There is some vulgar language but is still a great book. There is lots of action and a main character dies I'll let you guess who that is. I like how Applegate portrayed the gods; it fits them and history even though it is kind of funny. One minute it's a nice controlled dinner party on Mt. Olympus the next it's a rolling thunderstorm literally, with yelling, drinking and more yelling. Without knowing it they kill every mortal servant in the room and kick out one of their primary war leaders. One of the things I didn't like about this title is that it starts with one conflict then doesn't finish that conflict and ends with another. If you read it I hope you enjoy it.

Summary: The best fantasy series!
Review: I absolutely love every book in this series. I am pretty picky about books and this looked interesting so I read a few of them. I now own every book that has come out and since they don't take me too long to read, I am always begging my mom to check for a new one every time she goes to a book store. I recommend this series to any teenager around the age of 15 because the author uses references to people and shows that teenagers watch. My favorite has always been the "Ally McBugs" which is what one of the characters, Christopher, calls the alien creatures. If there are teenagers who like fantasy and comedy this series is perfect.

Summary: Not Bad
Review: I agree with the person who said it had little literary value. It's probably so that teenagers/pre-teens can identify with it more, but I'm 15 and it just bugs me. The plots not bad, though.

Summary: Gate way to the Gods is godly!
Review: I gave K.A. Applegate's Everworld: Gateway to the Gods four stars because it is an excellent book for anyone into the whole Greek mythology. I am personally not into that stuff, but I still really enjoyed this book very much because it had great action, great details on all the people and it had a good conflict. I think if I had read the previous books in the series I would have understood this book better. So if you haven't read the previous books, I suggest you read those first, but if you don't this will still be a great book for you.

Review: I LOVED this book. It was the best one yet. This one really makes you want to go to Olympus. April really gets in touch with her feelings in this one. If you like the Harry Potter series or any fantasy/science fiction I recommend this book

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I really enjoyed this new everworld book and thought it was thebest of the whole series. April, Jalil, David, and Christopher travelto Olympus and try to help the greek gods by destroying an invading Hetwan force. I really liked how the author went into battle strategies and I really enjoyed the new and interesting characters in this book. The book was greatly detailed which made it even better to read.

Summary: I'm in my element!
Review: I've been reading the EVERWORLD series ever since they came out. They're quite interesting. I have to agree with Marielle (another reader) though. The writing style is not all that professional. Still, it is good writing, easy to read, and very casual. But because of this, my the highest I'll give on these books is 4 stars. But this book deserves 4 stars! I'm totally in my element. I'm a big fan of Greek mythology, and Olympus is where the gang happens to be this time. KA obviously did her homework on the Olympus immortals. She really states her opinino of them: they are a bunch of wacked-out preschoolers. This book was, in instances, rather contreversial. It talks about faith and religion; April bears her testimony out of the blue, and then goes through a process when she questions her religion. It was very fascinating. These books are coming together. They are more serious, KA has finally settled on a style and ideas. Most of all, the gang has finally gotten their acts together instead of running away from every monster that comes along!
