Once again, seriously, read this series. A fast read, even at over three hundred pages. It’s one of those un-put-down-able books. You just want to know what happens next. Even though I’ve read it four times, I always read it like I don’t know what happens next. Riordan just makes his stories that exciting. Riordan is a great author and his characters are likeable kids (the good guys are anyway). I love the way he uses his books to teach kids about mythology, whether that was ever his intention o ...more

Got this from my nephew for my birthday because this is one of his favorite series. I like the characters and the concept and would give it 3 1/2 stars if Goodreads would let me. But, still not as captivating as Harry Potter, for instance. But I'm working my way through the series anyway - still better than average. ...more

Can't wait to read the rest of the series! Such a great book... The Greek gods are alive and well in the present. Action and adventure...I know it's a series for kids, but this is a great story. ...more

This has some similarities to the HP series but there's enough differentiation to make this a distinctively different world to escape into.

It's a well-detailed story of adolescent self-discovery overlaid with the Greek Gods and mythology as the base for this "new" world. It's enjoyably fast-paced and a great audiobook to listen to during work commutes.

I liked it. Riordan tells an amazing story and he keeps the pace up from start to finish. You never really want to put the book down until you're done. ...more
