This book grabs the your attention right from the start and keeps you interested with fast-paced action, entertaining dialogue and a humorous plot. It's the first "Time Warp Trio" book I've read and I really enjoyed it. Joe, Fred and Sam are magically transported into the world of Greek mythology where they run from vicious three-headed dogs, exchange witty insults with Hera, queen of the gods, and outsmart Zeus and the other gods on Mount Olympus, before they find their way back home. If you know a little bit about Greek mythology you will be amused by the characterization of the gods and godesses and you will find yourself wanting to learn even more. The book is easy to read and hard to put down!

Do you like the movie Hercules but dislike Hercules and the story line? If that's true, (or even if it isn't) this is the book for you! Of course, the Time Warp Trio gets stuck in Greek and have to get back home. They meet up with all the Greeks gods from Zeus to Hera, from Aphrodite to Apollo, and from Artemis to Hades! The Trio have to trick the gods with puzzles to get The Book and get home. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

Kids that don't usually like to read will want to read this book because when you start reading it, you feel like you are in the book. Also, when you start reading it, you don't want to stop.

I liked the way the author wrote it and the point of view he wrote it at. It was my first time warp trio book and it made me want to read more. Another book I liked was Da wild Da crazy Da Vinci. There's tons more books in the series and I can't wait to read them!

I accidentally came across this books in the library today, and was reminded of how much I love Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith. Scieszka creates loveable believable characters filled with snarky wit that keeps one chuckling throughout the entire book. And Smith's drawings are just brilliantly done. These were the kinds of books I adored as a child, and I'm glad to stumble upon them again.
