Product Description

Review

Praise for the Percy Jackson series: 'Witty and inspired. Gripping, touching and deliciously satirical...This is most likely to succeed Rowling. Puffin is on to a winner' - Amanda Craig, The Times 'Puns, jokes and subtle wit, alongside a gripping storyline' - Telegraph 'Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats' – New York Times


Product Description

You can't tell by looking at me that my dad is Poseidon, God of the Sea. It's not easy being a half-blood these days. You mortals can't even see the monsters we have to fight all the time. So when a game of dodgeball turned into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, I couldn't exactly ask my gym teacher for help. And that was just for starters. This is the one where Camp Half Blood is under attack, and unless I get my hands on the Golden Fleece, the whole camp will be invaded by monsters. Big ones. Can Percy survive the treacherous Sea of Monsters and restore order to Half-Blood Hill?

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Stunning And Plot Twisting To The Very Last Page...Literally, 29 Jun 2006
This review is from: Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson & the Olympians) (Hardcover)
I read this book today and i have to say it is brilliant. It takes place a school year after the events of The Lightening Thief and it's just as good if not better.

Percy has had a very uneventful school year with not one moster attacking him which has made him very on edge. He's made one friend(who happens to be homeless, poor and not to mention slow) and he's having strange dreams of Grover who seems to be in trouble. When monsters finally attack durring his dodgeball game and Annabeth turns up to help scratched and looking rather worse for wear Percy realises something's very wrong. They arrive back at half blood hill to a terrible sight; Thalia's pine tree has been poisoned and the border between Half Blood Hill and the mortal world is failing. What does this mean for Percy and the rest of the half bloods? A whole lot of trouble and the realisation that in their world nothing is as it seems and whatever Kronos's plans are he is just about ready to put them into action which will spell the end for half blood hill and the rest of the world too.

This book really concentrates hard on the prophecy that both Annabeth and Chiron know about and Rick pulls so many unexpected twists your head is left spinning in the best possible way. With new and old foes, with action and adventure and with the last twist on the book on the last page you are left wondering what the fates and the future have in store for our demi-god Percy Jackson.

All in all a fantastic book and i cannot wait for the next one which is due out early 2007, everyone who loves to read should definitly check this one out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightning Strikes Twice - Another Monster Hit!, 10 Sep 2006
By Chrestomanci (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson & the Olympians) (Hardcover)
I've been awaiting this sequel to "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" with eager anticipation - and it certainly didn't disappoint. It has everything that made the previous book one of my favourites of last year, with the added advantage that the characters already felt like friends!

Once again, from the point of view of a regular adult reviewer of children's books, I could see where most of the plot threads were leading - but younger readers, (possibly less familiar with Greek legends and heroes), wouldn't have this problem.

Again, the boarding school setting leads to inevitable comparisons with Harry Potter ... and on the whole Percy Jackson stands up well. (Normally, I thoroughly object to the media's habit of comparing all books to HP - but in this case, the parallels are unavoidable). So far, I haven't found the whole hidden world of the Greek Gods in Manhattan as believable and well realised as Harry's community of wizards secretly inhabiting the Muggle world. Hogwarts has a texture and meticulous attention to detail that, as yet, Camp Halfblood lacks, making Percy's world not quite as convincing. However, the writing, (done from the first person POV of Percy and in a style far closer to the wit of Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl, is often sharper and funnier than J K Rowling's latter books.

This is an outstanding book - and I'm already looking forward to the third in the series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Percy Jackson - year 2, 10 Oct 2007
By Wyvernfriend (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
  
At the opening of the story, Percy has almost succeeded in surviving a full year without suspension in a school. However the attacking monsters put paid to his plans and he has to run away. He runs to the safest place he knows, Camp Half-Breed, to find that it too is overrun with monsters. The magical borders of the camp have been poisoned and someone has to go on a quest for the golden fleece.

The chosen person isn't Percy, it's his arch-nemesis Clarisse, but Percy goes after her and has a very Odyssian adventure.

This series is a fun re-telling of the Greek myths putting a very modern spin on the stories. The only improvement would be to add in some suggested reading.

My 10 year old daughter disappeared for just over 2 days whilst she read this, surfacing only to eat. She is hooked on Percy Jackson, please write more Mr Riordan.
