Did you read the Son of Sobek? If you did, you can see how he combined it. I don't think it was fully explained because it was just a short story. Percy and Carter just fought a monster together with their own mythological skills.

The movies were good but not as good as the books. I still think that, for a book-movie adaptation, it was done well. Not like some other book-movie adaptations that I've seen cough*PercyJacksonMovies*cough

The last movie didn't fulfill my expectations. True, it was kind of a let down. I didn't like it as much as I liked the first four movies.

Matthew wrote: "Ssdas wrote: "has anyone read the rangers apprentice?"I have!"
Great! what did you think of the last book
You can't make me pick a favorite, that's too harsh. I'll give you my top three: Order of the Phoenix, Goblet of Fire, Half Blood Prince. And by "peevies" do you mean Peeves the Poltergeist? I think he's hilarious. A comedic relief. I love it when, during the Order of the Phoenix, Fred and George created chaos because they hated Umbridge and then they were about to leave on their brooms and then Fred told Peeves "Give her hell from me" and then Peeves saluted and wreaked havoc. I was laughing so hard xD
Also I think the worst movie adaptation of all times is, of course, the Last Airbender. I'm pretty sure that goes without saying. My eyes and ears were bleeding from watching and hearing the movie. I think I was bleeding internally. I'm surprised I survived through it.
Nope, I have not read the Rangers Apprentice. Is it good?

by the way their are three book series that changed my lifeone is a series of unfortunate events this was the first true novel series that I read and cemented my love for books it may be not as good as harry potter but i remeber this more fondly
another is of course the percy jackson books I loved it and it made love history which i am now studing
and last is artemis fowl I this made me care more for the enviroment and love plots what series influence you the most?

If it wasn't, Rick would have spent time to make the chapter/section/scene fit in with the rest of the book.
I've read many books and a lot of them have gay characters in it, but they integrated so well you don't even notice(and it isn't some vague reference they say they are gay)... if it wasn't "last minute" then Rick either tried for maximum shock effect with his writing or his writing was too simplistic for him to meld the story better.

I really liked it! Although a certain major character died, I felt it was necessary to progress the plot. John Flanagan is probably my favorite author after Rick Riordan.

It's good; although it's more of a boys series, I've seen love of it go across all boundaries.
Speaking of boundaries, in an admittedly futile attempt to get this thread back on track, I am glad I don't eat or drink while reading, because I would have either choked or done a spit-take at the Nico revelation

When do we eat?
The series that influenced me the most was Harry Potter. I read it when I was so young and it made me realize many things. Also, the Percy Jackson series influenced me because I first read it as a class book with my class and I had so many memories with them as we read the book. It was the first time they made me feel like I belong with them.
my lap top is nearly out of charge so I may not be able to talk for awile
Wow the Rangers Apprentice must be good. I'll read it. I don't care if it's a boy series because I love books for boys. They usually have more action and violence and I love action and violence. Boy series also have less romance in them, and the less romance the better.

Also, the characters personalities are awesome.
I am back people so what's happening

Bo..."In my opinion it is the best series I have read with Artemis fowl although heros of Olympus is getting close (I prefer the new series than the original)
Ps plenty of ships to sail control by the way
Avalon wrote: " I love books for boys. They usually have more action and violence and I love action and violence...."I thought the whole reason you are waiting to read Lies of Locke Lamora is because it's too "violent" and filled with "action".
Ssdas wrote: "Where is everybody"... You do know that Aussieland is 12 hours ahead of the world, its 11:22pm here, I'm sure it's 11:22am there.
No I don't want to read it because you said it was gruesome... I mean there's a boundary between gruesome and violent to me. Violence is just weapons and fighting and injuries but gruesome is gross things that go past violence
OKay, i dont really have much to say except that idk how to feel about Nico. but this video is really great and kind of covers both sides of the.. problem...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88aUr_...
enjoy...
Exactly H99, thanks for that comparison :D See, Kevin, I like violence but I'm not a fan of gruesome scenes.. So if the book you want me to read, the Lies of Locke Lamora I believe it was called, is gruesome then I won't read it, sorry. However, I don't mind me some violence!
Avalon wrote: "No I don't want to read it because you said it was gruesome... I mean there's a boundary between gruesome and violent to me.

Before Steelheart, I think."
It was released before Steelheart but i was talking about how I read it, what position.
"...the powerful taking what they want and pooping on the guy underneath them..."
Well thanks Kevin for that HORRIBLE mental image. Thanks a lot.
Anyways, it seems interesting but is it too gruesome? I get grossed out by scenes that are WAY too explicit. Kinda scars me...

I did not enjoy sorry... she behaved too fangirlish
Avalon wrote: "I don't get the joke but... Hahahahahaa"Inside joke; you have to read Ranger's Apprentice to get it.

Back in a few hours
Oh, well then. Y'know, I don't have great memory so... I confuse things sometimes..

It's 15 past 3
Oh wow Matthew, so I have to read Rangers Apprentice, go back to this thread, read the message and then laugh. Well, if that's what it takes then I'll do it.
People I am back ahhhhhh what time is it over their?

But I'm going to sleep now so good night :D
