此书为未纠正版本。国外出版图书和大陆不同。一般是先发行试看平装版。未纠正版（试看版）与第一版第一次印刷的区别是。未纠正版封面有未纠正图标。封底有书号没有条形码。
在第一版一印以前三到六个月，出版商就出版了简装的所谓 Advance copy (ARC/ARE)，免费送给一些专家和有名望的人。这些人看了，有好评的话，就印在正式出版的一版一印上了。有的出版社也先出版Galley (uncorrected bound)

We were only three angry high school girls, to begin with. Alix, the hot-tempered surfer chick; Stephanie, the tree-hugging activist; and me, Meg, the quiet foster kid, the one who never quite fit in. We hardly knew each other, but each of us nurtured a burning anger: at the jerks in our class, at our disappointing parents, at the whole flawed, unjust world.
We were only three angry girls, simmering uselessly in our ocean-side California town, until one day a mysterious, beautiful classmate named Ambrosia taught us what else we could be: Powerful. Deadly. Furious.
Yes, that's us. The three Greek Furies, come to life, ready to take our revenge on everyone who deserves it. And who doesn't deserve it, really? We're done with chances. We are angry. The Furies have come to town.
Jill Wolfson's Furious is an enthralling retelling of Greek myth.
From
*Starred Review* Imagine the pecking order in a small coastal California high school where an elite “surfer crew” runs the social cliques. “You pretty much accept that every day is bound to be a series of humiliations, large and small,” muses Meg, an out-crowd 16-year-old whose life has been shaped by neglectful foster care. Stephanie and Alix, outcasts in their own ways, do battle every day, too. Who wouldn’t want superheroes to swoop in and mete out punishments for meanness? Leave it to beautiful, exotic Ambrosia to gather the girls and infuse them with the supernatural strength of modern-day Furies to wreak vengeance on their tormentors. Ambrosia and a few other Olympian stand-ins pull divine strings in this spoofy romp as the deities come to Hunter High. Meg narrates, and her droll wit propels the action and high jinks. The power feels good—but is it the right approach? Thoughtful riffs on revenge versus justice dapple the narrative, and sure, some of the reformed meanies can sound overly contrite. But the combination of poignant coming-of-age with creative satire equals a fun treatment on a big topic: how you grow confidence and establish identity in a rough-and-tumble landscape. A natural choice for older fans of Rick Riordan’s myth-based series. Grades 9-12. --Anne OMalley
