Thanks to this book I got out of my reading slump, that started since January 2016. Thanks to the plot, the characters I could finish a book without putting down and forgetting about it.
Maybe it is my Greek heritage and that this book returned me to my elementary years that were long time ago. I love the Greek mythology and the way Rick Riordan wrote it, it is very captivating from the first sentence. I was hooked even though this book is written for a younger audience.

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

Well, this young listener was enthralled with the book just like I was with the movie when I saw it at the show last month with Lady K. We'll be getting it on DVD when it comes out 22 Jun.
On with the book...which was better than the movie and the movie was really good. Okay, back to the book. I enjoyed my time with this as an audiobook. The narrator, Jesse Bernstein, is perfect for the voice of Percy and definitely perfect for all of the evil monsters and ambiguous gods and goddesses.

Definitely not the strongest in the series but I still think it is worth reading. Rick wrote these books in order to keep his dyslexic, ADD son interested in reading. After he had exhausted telling his son the Ancient Greek myths his son asked him to make his own myth. The books in both Percy Jackson series follow the pattern of myth seen in those ancient stories. Which will make you either love the books or hate them. Keep reading they the second series is amazing!

I watched the movie first, so my thought process on this one is sort of backwards. I found the movie mediocre but amusing. And by that the books is so much more detailed, intricate and plotted than the movie. The book by it self I consider "okay" while in comparison to it's movie it's "amazingly better."
I'll keep reading these and we'll see where it goes. ...more

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.
