It was pretty good.. I hadn't had any expectations going in, which was good. I like the story, but to start (to build the full world) it went a little slow while they set the stage. Finally, when it was all set it was nice to finally get to all the action and the end.
the next book sounds great...now just to get my daughter to read it so we can go to the movie!! ;D

This was a fun read for all of us. All the mythology was educational for the kids (Alright, and a little for me too). The blending of mythology into the story in a unique way was my favorite part. The story didn't have a strong emotional pull, but the boys didn't seem to care. ...more

Cool storyline...Joenick and I read it together. He LOVES it! It was kind of like Harry Potter for early elementary-aged kids. We're excited to read the next ones together! (and see the movie tonight!) ...more

Have to admit I saw the movie tonight so we won't be finishing the book. It's been a nighttime read with an 8 year old and now that we've seen the movie we'll probably move on to book two. Held his attention, just couldn't get through many pages at a time. ...more

We are reading this aloud as a family. So far so good (although Michael thinks it is a rip off of harry potter - too similar).
