The Sea of Monsters
I can say that I’m a pretty big fan of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. The movie was rubbish, but the books are good. Again this one had some of the same childish names and themes, but it was very entertaining. It has the fun and adventure of Harry Potter but without any of Rowling’s depth. Again Percy and his friends go on a quest to save the world. Again they are successful. Riordian starts each book with a problem and seems to resolve it each book. I look forward to reading the rest of these books.
I’ve been neglecting updating this a little bit, but I’ve been super busy as well. I recently read Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lighting Thief by Rick Riordian. The trailer to the movie looked really good so I decided to read the books. The themes were great, but the dialogue and names were a little bit cheesy. Even in a kids book, I think Riordian could have come up with a better name than “Camp Half Blood”. Overall, despite being written for children, the book had a lot of mythology and Riordian did a great job of blending it with the moden world without losing its historial relevance.
