This gets a higher score just because it was so enjoyable to read it aloud to my kid. Without that the score would have been a lot lower - it's a great story but each chapter had too many bells and whistles, making it harder to really get into the characters and book. I blinked and Zachary finished the second one on his own, so I'll probably skip ahead to book three as well.

Definitely has a lot in it to appeal to kids, and there's some humor in there for their parents as well. An interesting way to get kids into Greek mythology, and a fast and entertaining read that's sure to make it to the big screen.
