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 Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 25 April 2007
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse (Hardcover)
The SEA OF MONSTERS ended with a bang, with another child of the three gods emerging from the tree guarding Camp Half-Blood. Percy Jackson now has his hands full in THE TITAN'S CURSE, the third volume of the series.

When he answers an urgent call from his best friend, Grover, at a school in Maine, unexplainable things start happening. Grover has found two more half-bloods, who are siblings, but the assistant principal is a powerful monster in disguise. Grover will never get the half-bloods to camp without help. Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia set off for Maine to help Grover, but don't realize that they're walking into a trap.

Dr. Thorn, the assistant principal, has some tricks up his sleeve. When Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, arrives, things get out of hand. Dr. Thorn falls off a cliff with Annabeth. Artemis goes after her and everyone else returns to Camp Half-Blood. Here, they try to act as normal as possible, but two camper's dreams indicate severe trouble with both Artemis and Annabeth.

The Oracle speaks and five campers must find and bring back Artemis before the Winter Solstice. For the first time, Percy remains behind, but not by choice, and not for long. When Percy meets up with the group, the enemies start showing themselves--and the race to reach Artemis and Annabeth alive becomes more crucial. Can Percy save both them before the Winter Solstice?

THE TITAN'S CURSE leaves the reader hanging, waiting for several important questions to be answered in the final two books of the series. This fast-paced novel, along with the action, makes it a great series for fantasy lovers, reluctant readers, and anyone looking for a good story.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I've ever read, 14 April 2007
By Darkmaster (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse (Hardcover)
I got this book before it even came out as I went to a lecture with Rick at a local school. I was really glued to it. It is much better than the other two, even though they are amazing. Even if you hate reading books, you should read this (you need to read the first two).
It is probably the best book I've ever read, and believe me, I've read a lot of books.
Rick Riordan is a brilliant author, and if he were English, he should be the Children's Laureate. This should win the children's book award next year definitely, I'm absolutely positive that Harry Potter 7 won't live up to this fantastic book.

This series of books is already much better than the Harry Potter books.


I can't tell you anything, as it will wreck the plots of the other 2 books. But I'll tell you that this is the book of the decade (children's book).



This is at least ten stars but I'm only allowed to award up to five.
5/5

I would give it 99% because there is always room for improvement.
But it isn't not good.

READ THIS BOOK OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!
