| Riordan isn't a great writer, but he's a fun storyteller, He weaves Greek myth with modern times very effectively for a highly entertaining, if forgettable, read. | |
“It's strange, isn't it, how you never know you're living the best time of your life at the moment you're living it? If you could appreciate, at that instant, that this is it, maybe you'd make certain your mind imprinted every detail of the sights, smells, sounds and sensations.
Then again, maybe knowing that life will only get duller, sadder, less hopeful afterward would inject melancholy into that moment. You'd miss life's peak experience by mourning it before it passes.
So perhaps it's best not to know.”
― Anita Bartholomew, The Midget's House
