I'm crazy about Percy! I laughed so much while I was reading this book!I always heard good thigns about it but was only when I read it and loved it that I decided that I have to bow to Rick Riordan because I'm sixteen and I just read a mid grade novel and loved it !

My knowledge about greek mythology has been stretched. haha. my mind was having a knowledge refresh as i read about these myths, about 12 year old Percy who felt that he's never been normal only to know that he's a half-blood, a demigod, half god half mortal. full of adventure and i like percy's att...

Un début de saga sympathique, amusant de voir toute la mythologie grecque transposée dans notre époque (et de bonne manière encore) et de redécouvrir tous ces mythes. Pour ce premier tome les personnages sont encore légers à mon goût, mais l'intrigue est par contre elle extrêmement bien rythmée et m...

I'm not the biggest fan of fantasy but I liked this. Having watched the film a while back and enjoying it, I thought I'd try the book. I don't remember a lot of the film but I know they didn't always run along the same lines but nevertheless I liked both. I'm not sure if I'll be reading more books...

I think that it's ...

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 is definitely a book for middle grade school kids, with that in mind i still rather enjoyed it. Camp Half-blood being my favorite part. I saw the movie forever ago but i dont recall a lot of the stuff in this book happening in the movie? also im pretty sure Percy fought Luke in the first movie,...

It was exactly what I expected. Nice, well-constructed, well-developed adventurous fun with ancient classical gods thrown it. Could've been better, but then, it could also have been much, much worse...The characters are a bit infantile, but I guess that goes with the "young adult" theme. The main ch...
