No, I haven't. I purposefully avoided seeing them because it was always my intention to read the books someday haha. I'm going in totally blind as to what to expect!
I recently read the first one and was quite pleased with it. I have the second one waiting on my bookshelf haha. Enjoy!

Great to hear! Enjoy book 2 Megan!
Percy Jackson is probably one of my favorite series ever. For me it's on the same level as Harry Potter and Narnia. I really hope you enjoy them!!
Ps: the movie sucked. No surprise there lol

I've heard such great things about this series, I'm so glad you enjoyed them Rachelle! I can't wait. The kid in me has been craving a read full of magic and wonder like Harry Potter.
I did hear that the movie wasn't so great. Sucks when that happens.
I read the books before I watch the movie. Great experience. I am just done wif book 3. Hope u enjoy it!
i have not read nor watch them but my elder sister was in it for a school production. she was the lightning queen! how r u all today / tonight. also what time is it where you are?? xoxo
@ Min: Thank you!
@ Tania: That's cool that your sister was in a production of it!
@ Brittney - it means "Review to Come" when I finish reading it in a few days. :)
Oh ok! I've seen it used by many people but never made the connection. I love this book series. Happy reading!

Thank you!! ^_^

The first book was so good!! I am kicking myself for not starting this series when I was younger!
I just finished the first book recently too. It's good and so much fun!
I read the series last year, I get the whole feeling a bit late to such an AMAZING STORY OMG!
I need to read these at some point.
Yay!! This series is literally my childhood, Percy is so amazing :)
Great review Bentley! I felt the same since I read this series as an adult. I think I appreciated it more!

Yeah I definitely think that was the case for me! I loved Greek (and Norse) mythology growing up so this was great fun for me.
Stunning review, Bentley! *whispers* I still haven't read this one yet...

Alyssa!!! Omg you have to read this! I avoided it for years because I thought it would never live up to the hype, but I really think it was awesome. I hope you give it a go soon. :)
Great review Bentley! I also didn't read these as a child (nor did I read Harry Potter) & so I get you feeling a little left out on that front haha! :)

Thank you Mary! There are just so many books out there! It's incredible that we can miss out on some huge series for too many years.
This is a great review !! I also read this series a little late because I thought I was too old to read it at the time but I still tried and ended up loving it so much. And I had no idea Percy was based on the author's son this is so cute, you just gave me another reason to love this.

Thank you Camille! That's one of the big reasons I waited so long to read it! I missed it as a kid and then thought I was too much of a cool, aloof teenager to read it when I was still in school. Thankfully as an adult I have zero shame and don't care what I read. :P
I see the promotions for these movies all the time and want to watch one, but then think I need to read the books first!

That was one of the reasons why I finally wanted to read the books. I've yet to see the movie, but I've heard it didn't do the book justice.

I first read the Percy Jackson 5 years ago and fell in love immediately. Percy is one of my fave characters ever and I agree that it's awesome that Riordan based him on his own son! I actually just started rereading the series after seeing the musical (which actually stays pretty true to the book, unlike the movie which I still love despite it being a terrible book to film adaptation - the second movie is a better adaption than the first) and I'm remembering just how much I love Percy's story. Great review and I hope you enjoy the rest of the series as much as you did this one!

I had no idea there was a PJ musical! That's so cool! Oh man, I agree about the film to book adaptation. I watched the first movie right after finishing the first book and thought it was atrocious how many things were changed for no reason. I'm about to start book 2 this weekend and I can't wait to continue the journey!
It was the same for me where they were always just kind of there, but I never took interest in them until like a year and a half ago where my friend litteraly forced the series into my hands and I read them and LOVED THEM. Although I tried watching the movies after and couldn't get though the first five minutes it was so so bad.

Yup, the movie was definitely not good! I think in a lot of ways my obsession with Harry Potter just ended up overshadowing Percy Jackson when I was younger. I'm glad I can still appreciate them and experience the magic now!
I remember reading the first book in grade 8. Then when I went to visit my cousin, I saw that she had the entire series......so instead of socializing with my family I binged read the series. Was totally worth it.

Hahaha that could be much of my childhood and adult life, I think xD.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of people hadn't heard about it! It's off Broadway and unfortunately closing in less than a week, but I am hoping for an extension or a transfer! But yeah, they clearly decided to make the movie appeal more to Hollywood than to the book, which I get but I also find it unnecessary for them to have made as many changes as they did! Have fun with book 2!! I hope you like it as much as the first one! :)
i LOVE THIS BK IM 10 AND MY SIS RENNTED IT FOR ME AND I LOVEDDDD IT MY FAVE BOOK NEED TO KEEP GOIMG MUST WATCH MOVIE
