Not nearly as good as the PJO series.I found it hard to differentiate between the two narrators when I'm reading. I always has to go back and check to see who was speaking. Carter or Sadie.I also had issues with the number of events that happened in this book. There were many small and forgetful inc...

I liked this book, but it was a perfect storm that made it take about 4 weeks to read. I was re-reading Twilight at the same time I started The Red Pyramid (and Twilight always makes me only want to read Twilight...I can't help it) and then I got into watching Season 2 of True Blood. By the time I...

The narrative is presented as a transcript of an audio tape[1] recorded alternately by Carter and Sadie, complete with interjections as the on-mic sib responds to the teasing of the one off-mic, and distracting chapter openers as the narrator switches.

In this case, it's the latter. :)I am a huuuuge fan of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympian series, and those of you who love those will enjoy his new Kane Chronicles, too. I was a little ne...

Oh my goodness! It's so amazing! I love it! I was a bit concerned about it being very similar to The Percy Jackson and the Olympians seiries but I was pleasantly surprised when it was pretty different. Don't get me wrong, there are some similarities. But the first installment in the Kane Chronicles ...

3.5 stars (We dearly need a half star rating here.) Easily distinct in both tone and characterization from Riordan's Percy Jackson series, which I thankfully was introduced to by one of our librarians when the fourth book had just come out, this first installment in The Kane Chronicles, intended to...

My son "really liked it", but at times he was bored from the explanations. I would have given it 3 Stars~
