This book is amazing. Rick Riordan is a hilarious author and also my favorite, (closely followed by J. K. Rowling) This book is the book that I chose to comment on because it is the beginning of a thrilling adventure where Percy and his…

I've been assuming I wouldn't like this series. "It's not my kind of book" So when I saw it available as a downloadable audio book, I gave it a shot and really enjoyed it.
This is the first in the series. We meet the main characters, get…

All I can say about this book is that it's yet another greatpeice of work by Rick Riordan. There are many Greek legends in this book that are explained in a more modern format.
