I'm currently reading the whole series.. I'm onto now, and it's AMAZING! I've never read the series before and I feel so stupid that I haven't... I've been missing out big time ;D

The Battle of the Labyrinth is definitely amazing, it's probably my favorite in the series!

I really enjoyed Lightning Thief, but I've heard from others that the series goes downhill? How would you say the sequels compare to Harry Potter?

In my opinion, the series is nothing compared to Harry Potter. Yeah, it's good, but while Riordan creates a seprate world of Greek mythology- which partially already exists-, Rowling creates something entirely new. Also, everything that happens in the Percy Jackson series is leading up to that battle of Olympus in the last book. Everything has something to do with it- the lightning bolt being stolen in book one, having to get the Golden Fleece in book two, etc. In Harry Potter, yes there are a lot of things that lead up to the end battle against Voldemort in the same way. However, there's also adventures they have along the way that don't have anything to do with it. I guess all in all, Harry Potter is just a deeper series.

[Adam]

Wow! That's really helpful and echoes my thoughts on the book. I enjoyed it but thought Harry Potter was more creative. Did you by chance read Hunger Games series? I read the first 2 - loved them and then did not read book 3 bc I felt she couldn't continue the story in the same vein... I've heard split opinions from fans of that one on book 3.

I've read the Hunger Games series and am re-reading the first one right now. I enjoyed the first one and parts of the second, but honestly I think a lot of Catching Fire went downhill. I agree that she couldn't continue with the third one in the same vein- Mockingjay was definitely very different and not as good as the other two. Collins made Katniss pretty whiny and in my opinion, the story wasn't laid out as well as it could be. There were some parts that were decent, but a lot of it was predictable and shallow. However, I think if the whole direction of the story had been changed, it would have been a nice conclusion to the series.

Alright I'm sticking with my decision to skip Mockingjay! I've always had trouble re-reading a book bc I keep wanting to skip to my favorite part, that's impressive that you can.

Yeah, sometimes when I read books for a second time it makes them even more powerful to me. Often I pick up on things I missed the first time, like foreshadowing.

That's a good point about the foreshadowing. Do you ever see things the opposite way i.e. something you really enjoyed the first read but felt clumsy the second time?

[Stephanie]

I' min the middle of . After a sorta slow start its finally been picking up the pace for me!

[Danica]

I just started reading the last book in the Infernal Devices series, Clockwork Princess. Now that I'm on the last book of the series, I do have to say that I think I enjoy the Mortal Instruments series more. Not that I don't LOVE this series, but I just love Jace and Clary so much, it would be hard to live up to my expectations now.

[Nikki]

I'm a newbie here and I've just started reading Divergent. It's interesting so far!

[Justa]

I'm reading "It" by Stephen King atm. It's so good but it's huge :DD

Reading by Lizzy Ford. I am a fan of hers so I am pretty sure that I will enjoy this book. :)

I just read Horns written by his son. They're writing is so similar!

[Emma]

Right now I am reading by the author Avi. I've heard lots of good things about this author. I'm not a horror books person. I get scared really easily, and I've been known to leave the lights on in my room when I read scary books. So.. it was really convenient when someone made me pick up this book and read at least 25 pages and then I joined this group and there was a horror challenge!

I guess you're right, but it's not as scary (yet) as I thought. I gotta toughen up!

[Emma]

Reading another horror/mystery/suspense novel by Avi for the October horror challenge: . I reviewed the last one I read and gave it 3 stars- shocker! Can't wait to see how this one goes.

[Adam]

I'm halfway through Let the Right One In. Its intriguing! A bit gross at times but a really interesting storyline.

I've never heard of that book! Who is it written by?

[Adam]

John Lindqvist. Its a vampire story but its not your typical one, definitely a nice edge to it!

[Emma]

How is it not typical? Is it anything like Twilight? Because I really dislike Twilight.

[Michelle]

Didn't they make it into a movie?

[Emma]

Yes, they did make Twilight into a movie.

[Michelle]

I wasn't talking about Twilight, I was talking about Let the Right One In.

[Emma]

Oh! Sorry, didn't know! Yes, I believe they made Let the Right One In into a movie.

[Adam]

They did, but I think it is not in English so with subtitles. I haven't seen it so not sure how they handle some of the intense scenes

[Alyssa]

Sorry I didn't see this post. Let the Right One In is not typical bc instead of making the vampires out to be demons and good v. evil it makes vampires out to be more or less infected with a disease that makes them want to kill but their personality is perfectly intact. I wanted more seduction and characters intersted in fighting the good fight, but it never came. That was exacerbated by the fact that there is no central point of view. There are main characters but the book jumps around to different ones (even the bad guys).

Now, I'm reading Children of Dune and about to start Legend.
