The Red Pyramid
No, but I'd like to. PJO was excellent. (Haven't quite finished the series yet)
Yes, it came out may 4th. I'm reading it right now and I really like.
I'm gonna read it soon. My friend has it, and after she finishes it and I clear my next-in-line to-read books self, I'll move on to it. hahaa.
She's been saying that it's amazing.
i just looked at it today i might read it.
Has Rick said how many there will be? I seriously think that when this series is over, he should do NORSE mythology! That way he'd have series for greek, egyptian, and norse! :D
He hasn't mentioned anything- to my knowledge. I could be wrong and have overlooked it while reading his blog.
I don't know yet. I'm not really keen on Egyptian mythology, and I don't want to compare it to Percy Jackson, so we'll see what happens next with the series!
*shrugs* Haley (Rick's son) said it was his dad's best book yet.
lol okay... that doesn't really mean anything to me. :)I'm skeptical about it being as good as PJ, and it seems like a risk authors take when they start a new series. I won't be reading it any time soon, but then again I didn't start the PJ series until after BOTL was published.
i just started reading the red pyramid and i really like it.
Amelia: I figured, but it was worth a shot. And I didn't start reading PJO until about a week before The Last Olympian was scheduled to come out- not on purpose. hahaa. It was just when I found the books at the library.Okay, I started this book yesterday and am currently on page 158. Rick's sorta made a reference to PJO: (The main character's, Carter and Sadie are in NYC with Amos [not gonna tell you anything about him:]) Amos says: "Manhattan has other problems. Other gods. It's best we stay separate." (For all of you curious to where I found it, it's on page 52).
(Just thought it was rather interesting since this book relied on Egyptian Mythology instead of Greek).
That's cute! I love it when authors reference their other works!
The book is amasing. I knew little about Egyptian myth. I love Sadie and the dual narration. It does feel like PJO sometimes while reading,but is full of great new adventures. I can't wait for #2 which is due out next May 2011.Hoth talks about Hermes again another reference back to PJO.

Yeah, I read that other reference yesterday, Suzannek, but I wasn't on to talk about it. :)

It would be AWESOME if he wrote a series based on Norse Mythology!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks interesting. I will read it soon maybe.
You should it's really awsome! oh ya and just to let you know i'm the friend of rae's that loaned her the book and she finished before me. that's just sad.:)
:) it is. lolz. Arienne gave me the book (per my request) 'cause I had nothing else to read and she was taking a break form it- and I finished the book in less than a week, I believe.
This book is great! I read it in one day and I'm only 12.
what's wrong if you're 12? I'm 12 and I read DH in 2 days.

The main character of Misery is an author named Paul Sheldon.
In King's book Rose Madder There is a scene when the main character is in the bookshop, and she buys a book called "MISERY'S CHILD by PAUL SHELDON"
See the link?
Yeah, i thought it was cool :)
I got it for my birthday and I hope to read it soon!!!!
I liked it. The next book comes out next year.
Yeps! Rick recently posted on his blog that he was gonna work hard to get a Kane Chronicals book out every spring and a 'CHB' book (he hasn't decided what to call the series yet) out every fall.

Ok, I notice that most of the comments towards Red Pyramid are good. And I really don't anything bad to say about it, but I don't have much good to sat about it either.Amelia said something about not wanting to compare it to Percy Jackson. Well, I wish I'd read the Red Pyramid first, because that was all I could do. I did quite enjoy the PJO references, but I didn't like this one book nearly as much as I liked any one of the PJO books, let alone all of them combined.
It prolly doesn't help that I have very little interest in Egyptian mythology in comparison to my interest in Greek mythology.
I am just giving my take on the book, even though it seems that most of you loved it.

oh yeah! sorry, i'm a bit braindead in the summer. :)
I haven't read the Red Pyramid. I'm not too interested. But I loved the PJO series, and maybe someday I'll read this series, to see how great it is :D
i love love love Greek and Egyptian stuff!!! i think it's sooooooooo cool!!!! my fav character form the red pyramid was anubis and nico from the percy jackson series!!! i love Rick's writing!!!! :)
I think Rae is agreeing that Greek and Egyptian stuff is cool... I could be wrong.Rae! You changed your pic!
Taylor: that i did. :) and i was saying that of course her fave charries from red pyramid and PJO are Anubis and Nico. lolz.
Lol, I guess I got really used to the last one. ;)
yeah, i change it periodically. it's been demi lovato several times, me a couple, selena gomez, alexis bledel, my Percabeth pic, Treble....hahaa. but this one's me :) and i uploaded a couple more too.
