Product Description

Review
'Praise for The Titan's Curse, and other books in 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 'Funny and fast-paced ... Percy is a hero that every kid will want to emulate' -- Sunday Express 'Funny ... very exciting ... but it's the storytelling that will get readers hooked. After all, this is the stuff of legends' -- Guardian 'One of the books of the year ... vastly entertaining' -- Independent 'Cool, mad and very funny!' -- Flipside'

Product Description
It's the last Friday before the winter holidays but Percy Jackson isn't at school: he's battling the fearsome Manticore (half human, half lion), which in itself isn't ideal . . . but with Annabeth missing and the goddess of the hunt held captive, things get a whole lot more serious . . . Greek mythology relocated to modern-day America. Action-packed, funny, accessible writing for both boys and girls aged 10+. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and compelling, 21 Feb 2009
By Dr. Sarah A. Brown "Sarah Brown" (Cambridge) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've just finished this novel and agree with the other Riordan reviewers that this is an excellent series. Like the first two Percy Jackson books "The Titan's Curse" is witty and inventive - Riordan certainly isn't running out of ideas! The transplantation of the Greek gods to the USA works extremely well and generally all the updating is effective and clever - and it's satisfying when you spot which character/episode from Greek mythology is being alluded to before Riordan spells it out.

The series as a whole has clear affinities with Harry Potter (boy discovers he has special powers and goes away from home to fulfil his destiny etc). I like HP too but Riordan is perhaps a more disciplined and consistent writer. If you can't wait for book 5 to come out try Tom Becker's "Darkside" or Diana Wynne Jones's "Eight Days of Luke".

Like the other reviewer of this book I have an eleven year old son who is enjoying the books - the hero is dyslexic (as is my son) and the series is perfect for bright boys who want something which is pacey and not too dense/literary yet which is clever and sophisticated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Series, 8 May 2009
I am a 14-year-old girl and I started reading the books when they first came out. I was interested in Greek Mythology and found them interesting and absorbing. The characters were easy to relate too, especially as I was a similar age to them and they told the stories really well. Although I'm now above the age group they're aimed at I still enjoy reading them. I want to know what will happen to the characters - which is always good - and it's nice to know the main characters won't die because: a) It's a kids book, and b) because it isn't the last book in the series.

I'd recommend this to boys AND girls about 9-years-old and over. They are well written, enjoyable to read, not patronizing, and tell you a lot about Greek mythology

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for boys, 15 Feb 2009
By H. Connelly (Didcot, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my son who's 11. Until quite recently he's been a rather reluctant reader; like many boys he always finds so many more exciting things to do. However we got hold of the first book in the series and he really enjoyed it. This book is number 3 or 4 in the series and my son has enjoyed them all. It's also spurred an interest in the Greek myths themselves. Any book that can capture a boys imagination and foster a love of reading gets five stars from me.
