The references still won't age well.

3 stars

The one thing that annoys me about this book is the same that annoys me with the Demigods: A lot of the references are already too old for younger readers, and I'm pretty sure they were too old when it was published. They didn't age well in the a Pinky-and-the-Brain (or other Spielberg cartoons) sort of way; they kind of... just go over their heads.

This frustrates me because I wanted to use different stories as an introduction to Greek mythology in a literature class, but I don't want to have to waste time answering questions about weird commercials or strange habits of 90's children. (And I know my students would do this to me because they do it all the time.)

It's enjoyable, though.
