Percy Jackson and the Olympians #3 The Titan's Curse

The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and yet again plowed through another one in the series :)
The thing I enjoyed most was the pegasi, especially the character of Blackjack. Riordan gives great detail and these mythological creatures sound so beautiful, yet powerful. I also found the relationship that Percy made with Bessie was good and that even knowing that Bessie being kept alive would be a danger, Percy stuck to his guns and would not let anything happen to him. He even convinced his dad Poseidon to keep watch over Bessie so that nothing happened to him. The relationship between Annabeth and Percy is budding but I think Athena will throw a wrench into it moving forward because she has already voiced her opinion that she doesn't like Percy. And Luke...it's like he has nine lives! He's a mean character and I don't really like him much but for him to keep living he must be an important part of Kronos' plans to take over the Olympians.
I've already started the 4th book and can't wait to get through that. It's very hard to put these books down as I am always dying to find out what happens next.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians #2 The Sea of Monsters

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I flew through this book. I really liked the introduction of Tyson and how Percy's feelings grew towards him. The story line with Luke is very interesting and he is like the rogue kid from camp Half Blood that wants to seek revenge against the gods and his father. I'm curious to see where Riordan goes with his character in the third book. My favourite part by far was the two chariot races. The first one kind of had the disaster looming with the killer pigeons and the second one was a triumphant victory for Percy and Annabeth. It was good to see that as a team Percy and Annabeth are such a strong force. Hopefully in the books to come their force gets stronger and they can conquer the evil cast upon them by the doomed king Kronos.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians #1 The Lightning Thief

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Since I enjoyed the movie so much I decided to try reading the book. It actually is part of a series which I bought and will read as well. As usual the book was ten times better then the movie and in a very strange way it was totally different. If the movie was exactly like the book was written I think it probably would have done better then it did (and it was fairly successful to begin with). Since the book was so radically different I enjoyed it even more because I went into reading it with an idea of what to expect and then it was so different. It was exciting to read and I have already started on the second book in the series. Growing up as a child I truly loved learning about Greek and Roman mythology, so this book definitely takes me back to my childhood. It was a nice light read and very interesting.
