Why you should read this book: This book is basically Diary of a Wimpy Kid if Greg Heffley came by his sense of entitlement and superiority honestly, by virtue of being an actual god. Here we have Loki, Norse god of mischief, sentenced to one month on Earth in the powerless body of a little boy, told that he must earn his return back to Asgard through the doing of good deeds, or else face the eternal torment of snake poison dripping on his face. Having very few redeeming qualities, he spends the first thirty days of his imprisonment being horrible to everyone around him, including the other gods—Thor, Heimdall, and Hyrrokkin—who, for some reason, must experience the punishment of posing as his normal human family, and then, on the thirty-first day, he does one decent thing for one person who wouldn't have needed his help in the first place if his presence on Earth hadn't put her in mortal danger, and gets a temporary reprieve from Odin, on the condition that he stay on Earth and continue trying not to be horrible.
Why you shouldn't read this book: If you didn't love Diary of a Wimpy Kid you probably won't get much out of this book.
