Wow! What a fun ride. For those who have been following my reviews for a while, they know that I love any books that incorporate Greek mythology into them. Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series has that in spades. Percy is 12 years old and after a disastrous year at his boarding school is expelled aga...

I started this a couple of months ago, right after I finished the HP series. I got a quarter of the way in and then hurled it across the room- figuratively speaking because it was on my kindle!- when I realised it was nothing like HP! It stayed in the back of my mind since that day, though, and I ke...

This is a fantastic written book that you have to read! It is the best Fantasy book I have ever read in my life. It has so many things happening that you just have to keep reading and reading the book for hours and hours! Ari

In celebration of finally (after five years) finishing this series (it's me not you), prepare for the reviews of the next books some time soon! First, I need to admit that I like Greek mythology. Also, I was looking for something that would fill the hole the Harry Potter-series had left. Is this t...

Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse-Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time...

This book was an all-nighter for me. Again. No matter how many times I read it, I just can't stop.It's been a couple years, though, so this time I'd actually forgotten things. And it's nice to read so that I can finish the series. I've read books 1-3 over and over but never managed to get to 4 until...

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!! ***Borrowed the audiobook from the local library and I have a copy in paperback of the whole series :) The cover will definitely attract a boy to pick it up because it is a boy holding a sword!! I borrowed the audiobook from my local library to ...

Many years ago, my father made me watch Percy Jackson. I found the movie quite good. I had no idea it was the adaptation of a book. One year ago I decided it was about time I read this series so I bought it. And I only started reading it this week. I was so wrong not to read it earlier! This fir...

I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, here, Percy. This was so much fun. The Percy Jackson series is one of those series that has been showing up on my recommendations lists for years at this point, probably since it was first published. It was showing up on all of...

I wish I'd picked these books up when they came out! I think the story's so good I'm sure I would have liked them when they came out. Yes it was a bit predictable but I'm well above the age demographic now(when they came out I was above the age demographic) so I don't feel like I can honestly judge ...
