I have yet to be dissapointed in this series. A real rarity in a fantasy series in general.
The story starts out with Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia trying to help Grover to sneak out two half-bloods from a private military style school. Things get immediately messy and they stumble upon yet another problem, or more like a crisis. In the process of a battle Annabeth is stolen away. Something called The General is out again wrecking havoc and as you can already tell Luke has a hand in all More...

Really this series has thus far been very dependable. I wasn't let down by The Titan's Curse at all and for an in between book it was very entertaining.
Mission: Save the goddess Artemis, Annabeth, and find a deadly creature that could possible destroy Olympus.
The Team: Percy (obviously), Grover (wouldn't have it any other way), Thalia (inevitable), and two huntresses called Zoe and Bianca.
It's just as funny as the other two and still full of action. The hints More...

Let me open by saying...Rick Riordan, I'm sorry for what I'm about to say. I'm an unpublished writer and I know the best I can hope for is that at some point some will like what I write, and some will, well, rip it.
I've not been "real complimentary' of these books up to this point, I gave each 3 stars...said that were what I'd call, "not bad". I dropped this one to 2 stars...it's getting to "bad".
First, I must say apologetically that the writing i More...

Percy Jackson is back... and Annabelle is missing! Grover, Thalia, and Percy must team up with the Hunters (Artemis' immortal virgin maidens) to find Annabelle and Artemis. If only Grover didn't spend all of his time mooning of the Hunters and guzzling coffee... If only Thalia, daughter of the god of the sky, wasn't afraid of heights... If only the Hunters didn't despise Percy just because he's a guy... oh yeah. This quest is going to be just great.

Got my 10 yr-old friend to read the series and he's enjoying them as much as I did. He read book 2 over one week during winter vacation! We're having a great time discussing the story and even some of the deeper concepts. If you haven't picked them up, do it!

Greek Mythology continues it’s thrilling and dangerous journey in the third installment of the Percy Jackson Series. Teen angst, temperamental gods, vain heroes and a blockbuster cast of terrifying villains, makes this is a fantastic read.
Having star-parents is always a double-edged sword, but when they just happen to be Gods……it’s a whole new ballgame!! Percy Jackson, sun of the sea-god Poseidon embarks upon a new uncertain quest. The Goddess of the hunt, Artemis is M.I. More...

Review also found here: http://lili-lost-in-a-book.blogspot.com/...
OMG the Titan Kronos is rising! Yes, that is a bad thing... since he's practically trying to take over the world and what not. Okay, maybe I was exagerating a bit. But isnt that just as bad as overthrowing Zeus and the rest of the gods and replacing them with a whole bunch of demigods (including Luke the evil, lol) and having Kronos as the leader? Well it is, since Olympus moves around and happens to be over New York. More...

With seven children spending the night and then the air-conditioner breaking in the middle of that same night, this was the perfect kind of book for me to be reading when it happened.
The target audience should love all the action, which is too much for my taste, but each time I thought I might give up for that reason, an extremely clever use of a Greek myth appeared and my interest rallied. The story also picked up considerably by its middle, becoming more complex as it went on. I More...

This was a much more entertaining and mature story than the first two of the series. It feels like we're getting into the actual "paramount" storyline for the final books instead of beating around the bushes.
The pace is still as fast as before. So a lot of action, no getting bored and just the right amount of humour. I find the writing is improving a bit as the series moves forward. I found myself laughing along at the jokes instead of rolling my eyes. It was still a bit pr More...

I loved this book. It was better than the previous books and I read this book Non-stop. The Adventures and actions scenes were more and its like Rick Riordan had listened to my problems and solved it. And this book had freaking surprised me, alot!
MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS! (I guess)

The Titans Curse
By Rick Riordan Shawn Saj
The plot is to revive Krunos and take over Olympus to kill the gods. The oracle said that one of the big three’s son will help the gods or destroy it. Percy thinks he is the one in the oracle, but another one from the oracle comes up. There are a lot of settings in the book. The main place that you see them in is half-blood camp.

The Titan's Curse
By Rick Riordan
Review by Nick Shanahan
I've never really liked Greek myths, but after reading Riordan's books, I can't stop talking about it. Percy Jackson and Thalia, the daughter of Zeus, and a few Hunters named Zoe Nightshade and Bianca Di Angelo will take you away in this book.
Bianca is the heart and soul of this book. She must leave her brother, Nico, behind to go on a very dangerous quest to find the goddess Artemis. Then a very tragic t More...

Okay, I think this might be my favorite of the three so far. It was the most dynamic; there are more things to speculate about, more ways to interpret the prophecy, and I really liked the introduction of the Hunters. Plus Percy's got the hots for Annabeth. You can tell. Whereas the first two were exciting and funny, this one's got all that plus... tender moments? Yep.

The Titan's Curse was an amazing book that is my favorite out of the whole Percy Jackson series. I have read the book over seven times and I've never been bored from it. Percy showed bravery and wisdom during this book and it was one of my favorites in the whole Percy Jackson series. Rick Riordan does a fabulous job on making the reader want to read on.

The Titan's Curse is the third book in the Percy Jackson series, and while I’ve enjoyed them all, the first one is still my favorite. But I must say again how much I like Riordan’s style. It’s so funny! I mean, check out this first line, “The Friday before winter break, my mom packed me an overnight bag and a few deadly weapons and took me to a new boarding school.” I laughed out loud in the first fifteen seconds after opening the cover. And again I praise (and stand amazed at) his chapter

"Si todavía no conoces a Percy Jackson, te contaremos que hasta hace un par de años no era más que un chaval normal, con ciertos problemas de dislexia que le hacían la vida en el colegio un poco más complicada de lo que ya era. Sin embargo, hace dos veranos descubrió algo asombroso: los antiguos dioses griegos, los moradores del Olimpo, continúan existiendo en pleno siglo XXI... Y eso no es lo más sorprendente: Percy es hijo de uno de ellos. Así, en El ladrón de rayo, la primera entrega de

I really enjoyed this book even though I was rather disappointed with the ending. Overall, I thought the book was an entertaining sequel to the second book in the series, The Sea of Monsters. I thought the book was paced well and the growing element of romance between Percy and Annabeth added some fun twists in this book, but it still has enough action to keep a young boy entertained for hours on end. I think Riordan did an excellent job for this being such a widely anticipated book in the serie

The book I read is called the Titans Curse by Rick Riordan.
It is a Fiction/Mythology genre.
It is the third book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympian's series. in the story Percy who is a half-blood (half man, half god) son of Poseidon, has to save the gods from being overthrown by Luke son of Hermes and his army of monsters.

This was a much darker and more mysterious piece than the first two in the series. Percy is growing up, and his life and his friends' lives are all changing. I liked how Mr. Riordan brought in Lady Artemis and the Hunters; it adds flavor to the plot and also provides a very poignant but realistic subplot. One of my favorite characters starting from this book onward was Zoe Nightshade; I could see how Mr. Riordan, despite her many layers, could still display the deepness of her character and s

This book waws even better than the previous two! It was a total cliff hanger ending but it was great! The story just keeps getting more in depth and the Greek Mythology gets even more intersting and you just can't help but sit on the edge of your couch and think "What the heck is going to happen!!?!" There was also some good comedy in this one two that maybe was only funny to me, but I was cracking up pretty hard! Good book, good series, and I cannot wait until the fourth one comes ou

The The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 2) ended with a bang, with another child of the three gods emerging from the tree guarding Camp Half-Blood. Percy Jackson now has his hands full in THE TITAN'S CURSE, the third volume of the series.
When he answers an urgent call from his best friend, Grover, at a school in Maine, unexplainable things start happening. Grover has found two more half-bloods, who are siblings, but the assistant principal is a powerful monste More...

Annabeth Chase and Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, are kidnapped. Percy and his friends must find Artemis before the winter solstice. This is because in the winter solstice, her influence on the Olympian Council could change an important vote. The vote was on the war with the Titans. Thalia Grace, Zoë Nightshade, Bianca Di Angelo, and Grover go on this dangerous quest. They also are searching for a rare monster that Artemis was trying to hunt down when she went missing. This monster is so powe
