Great Series.. September 5, 2010
Mr. Peeper's
I bought this set & the 4th book in the series for my niece for her Birthday. She just turned 13 & absolutely loved them! She read the 1st 3 in a matter of 6 days & is on to the 4th so that says it all right there. You can't beat the price either. Barnes & Nobles wanted $25 for the same set so look no further than here to purchase the books.
Wonderful series great gift August 30, 2010

This seires is wonderful! I purchased this set for my 10 year old son as a birthday gift. I read them with him and wound up liking them myself. This is great reading for anyone who enjoys mythic books.
Loved these books! August 22, 2010
CKelly (Yorktown, VA)
I really like the Percy Jackson set of books!! I enjoyed the Greek mythology, gods, goddesses and monsters with a modern twist. I found that I couldn't put them down, and was constantly wanting to find out what happened next. I know they are supposedly written for young adults/pre teens, but I am 40 and enjoyed them just as much! I also ordered books 4 and 5 and am pleased with those as well. My daughter will be reading them next. I will definitely be looking for more books to read by Rick Riordan!
This book changed me August 13, 2010
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am an 11-year-old girl who absolutely hated reading. I could never find a book I liked. If I actually found a good book, I would end up getting bored with it and not finishing it. Then, I happened to stumble upon "Percy." I opened up this book, and I never put it down. I read all day long, while eating dinner, while brushing my teeth, and even read it by flashlight in bed. I finished the series in less than two weeks. I cried so hard when I was finished with the last book. I was literally sick to my stomach and had a headache. I was bedstricken, okay???!! Then, I found out Rick Riordan would be writing a new "Percy" series, featuring some of the old characters. I have no reason to live until "The Lost Hero" comes out. (October 12th.) This is coming from a girl who, 2 weeks before "Percy", wouldn't even read a picture book. Rick Riordan, you are amazing. This author knows what his mythology-loving audience wants to read. And I will be reading Rick's work as long as I can possibly stand it!!!!!!!
 There was a movie based on this ? August 10, 2010
J. J Woehr (Lindenhurst, NY United States)
The title is just meant to be sarcastic, I know there's a movie and I saw it, but when reading the book it felt as if the movie wasn't even based on it. The movie hacked up the book and dumbed it down to be a totally kid friendly movie. While the book is full of non-stop action and twisted and scary villains that weren't even included in the movie!
The Madusa scene in the movie is too much like Clash of the Titans, her part is a little longer in the book and I found it funny that she ran her own lunch in where she cooks for people and then turns them into stone. That wasn't in the movie, in the movie she just chases Percy and his friends as soon as they get to her place pretty much. The movie is okay, but it made the book look bad, when it's actually an excellent book that could have made a great movie. Even if you saw the movie, I recommend reading the book. I saw the movie first and I'm glad I read the book because it's an excellent read and blows the movie away!
