5.0 out of 5 stars
Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 25 April 2007
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.

The best book I've ever read, 14 April 2007
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!!!!!

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
