CGiii Comment
A mad and erratic re-imagining of Ovid's epic and deliriously dreary poem...
The Gods are - indeed - among us...and they bonk anything, anyone and everywhere. Each God has a story which usually ends up with everyone getting down and dirty!
There's a little bit of every sexual proclivity imaginable...so, with some impressive imagery, it will keep the more adventurous interested.
Obviously, we are not adventurous enough for Monsieur Honoré's vision...it really is a bit of a hard slog!

The(ir) Blurb...
When Europe skips class to climb aboard an eight wheel truck with a magnetic young man named Jupiter, little does she know of the journey of initiation that lies ahead of her. Just off the side of the motorway lies a land inhabited by powerful gods who can transform humans into plants or animals in the blink of an eye.
