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.

This book is great the way she gets into detail on how the person is feeling during the book and how she makes it seem like this could really happen some day. The characters in this book are really cool and strange. so far i've got all the everworld books and this is by far the best one of them all.

This book is amazing.I own all the books in this series so far,and this is the best.This book is a thriller,a chiller,and it really is a page turner.I'd reccomend this book to anyone who loves freaky storys.But, you have to read the whole series before you read this book,otherwise you will be totally lost.Keep'em coming Katherine!

The series seems to get better with each book, and this one in particuler has to be my favorite so far. Here, the kids find themselves on Olympus amoung the gods, having been summoned in the last book, to help fight Ka Anor and his Hetwan, who are holding Olympus (which also happens to be one of the last strongholds against them) at siege. April, (my favorite) tells the tale once again, as she also has to struggle against real world problems of her own. The exciting storyline, the compelling and interesting characters, and the vivid setting really contributed to this book's coolness, but really, what made the whole story for me was the inclusion of all the Greek mythology! The author obviously did her homework here, really bringing the Gods to life. I wouldn't recommend this series to litte kids, to the often intense violence and gore, and I'd also recommend reading all the books in order; they don't stand well on their own and you'll be hopelessly confused otherwise.

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.

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

The Everworld series is the best series in my opinion. I just ordered this one and I already own 1-6 and 8. Ever since I read the first chapter of the first book, I've been mezmorized by the detail and description Applegate uses. And how she describes Christopher(my personal favorite), David, Jalil, and April, and most importantly, Senna. I can't wait to finish the series and finally find out what happens. I was looking for something diiferent than R.L.Stine(my fav. author), w/ fantasy, mystery, suspense, and humor(thanks to Christopher), and I definetly found it.

This is the ultimate Everworld book since david,Christopher,April and Jalil got trapped in everworld. Since I read the first book,I literally couldn't put it down.Now I've just finished reading this one and recommend every fiction book fan to read it.Since the gang has been trapped in Everworld,I was bound to the book,it's like you are right there Everworld is the best series you can run into whether you like Harry Potter,Buffy The Vampire Slayer,Christopher Pike or R.L Stine novels.

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!

Like I say for every Everworld book, this is the best sofar. In this book you learn more about April, and I think she is a very interesting character. The best part is when they fight the Hetwan. It was cool... wait, maybe you should find out yourself and read the book.
