Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book 2: The Sea of Monsters

This is a review of the second book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, which is called The Sea of Monsters.  The author is Rick Riordan.

During school, Percy is stuck playing dodge ball against large seventh graders who turn out to be Laistrygonians. They summon explosive fireballs and attempt to kill Percy, but he is protected by Tyson, a friend, who is unharmed by the monsters' fireballs. Annabeth, demi-god daughter of Athena, saves Percy by stabbing the last Laistrygonian from behind and takes Percy and Tyson back to Camp Half-Blood. They find the camp under attack--and of course, great adventures follow!

I thought the book was strong in the beginning because this is the first time Percy is attacked by monsters with humans around.  I like that Percy's mother has a new boyfriend called Blofis.  We meet the Cloven of Elders, which is awkward, strong, and awesome.  The best part of the book is meeting Zeus' daughter, Thalia Grace--I thought it was exciting to meet her because Kronos, Percy's grandfather, puts her in a great prophecy so he can destroy Olympus.  This made me excited to read the next books. 

One thing I didn't like about the book is some of the characters weren't who we thought they were in the beginning, and this made me feel sort of sad, even though it was great.  Someone who once was a friend betrays us.  Riordan's a good writer, and I really want to read his other series.

     I rate this book 5 out of 5 chocolate bars

 Vampire rating of appropriateness for mild language and a little blood and guts--not good for little kids. 

Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, Book One, by Rick Riordan

This is a review on...a squirrel!  I do this a lot, sorry, but I just lost my train of thought.  Where was I?

Oh, well, this is a story of an adventure and also love. This is the first book in The Olympians series, by Rick Riordan.  I've read all five of the books in the series, but to tell you the truth, I didn't have a choice to read the first book.  It was completely by accident--I got it as a gift at the end of my summer camp session.  I was sucked in, and anyway I was bored because we were in the middle of a storm.  Well, actually it was more like a tornado.  So.  This book was fantastic, but in the beginning it really didn't tie down because he said he was seeing things, like a teacher disappearing. 

I liked it because we find out who Percy's father is, and there was a lot of water mentioned in the book.  I like water.  When I was in second grade, my teacher, Ms. K, told us a lot about Greek myths, so I was stuck on Greek myths--any kind of mythology--and this book was amazing because it mentioned a lot of monsters I never knew of, so I could learn more about their legends.

Some things I thought were interesting about Percy Jackson:

• He has ADHD
• He is a demigod
• We find who he is
• He is dyslexic
• This is a good book
• He is guy from a prophecy
• He is the son of a mortal
• His dad is a god
• He has a Camp Half-Blood Cabin In Montak
• He is elevn 

 My rating on Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief (Book One) is 4 1/2 out of 5 chocolate bars.

There is a little bit of mild violence, but it's okay for children.  I read it when I was nine.

In a book I look for: action, adventure, comedy and intriguing characters.

2: Second fave. ARTEMIS FOWL!! I just totally love the fairy tech and the intellect of the book Author Eoin Colfer does a great job with tying comedy and drama together.


3: Third. PERCY JACKSON!! Rick Riordan ties teen comedy with greek mythology for an amazing series.


4: Fourth. HARRY POTTER!! As you should all know the magic is exquisite. The characters are so relatable. And it has an awesome movie. J.K. Rowling is a great author.

Favorite Books?

Hey! Stev is posting with a question about books! I was just wondering what books are the current fave! My personal faves are Percy Jackson and The Olympians (all of them, by Rick Riordan) and Ranger's Apprentice (again, all of them)

Ranger's Apprentice (by John Flanagan) is about a fifteen-year-old boy named Will who lives in the castle ward with the other orphans of Redmont Fief. On Choosing Day, none of the Craftmasters want to choose him...except one. The mysterious Ranger Halt gives a note about Will to Baron Arald. Any more info would be spoilery!! You'll have to read it to find out more! HAHAHA!

Comment, please, readers who read, and tell me all about your favorite book(s). ;)
