'The second part of Francesca Simon's stories about Norse Gods is funnier than the first'
The second part of Francesca Simon's stories about Norse gods, The Lost Gods, is funnier than the first, The Sleeping Army, because when the gods turn into celebrities they keep fussing about how to stay famous. This starts when Woden, one of the gods, goes on the TV programme FAME: Make Me a Star.
He does this because if the gods do not have people to worship them, they will lose their powers and will not be able to fight the Ice Giants. They need to do this, because if they don't then the Ice Giants will freeze the Earth, killing all the people.
It is funny because even though they became famous to save the world, the gods end up obsessing about being celebrities and worrying about what the newspapers say about them. This book is an interesting way of looking at how people in the modern world are so focused on stardom and celebrities.
