What do you think of the Percy Jackson Series/ Heroes of Olympus?

Hi. I haven't read the book but my 10-year-old niece had and she loved it. But I had watched the movie with my son and I found it very entertaining. It's really Greek mythology with a twist. What's also great was that it made it so much easier to explain to my 8-year-old son some basics of Greek mythology, and I was also glad that he took quite some interest in it. If the second book is more interesting as you say, I think I'd buy one for my son :)

i love the book

I was interested in Percy Jackson after i watch it's movie too. I like every stories about God Mythologies like that. Actually i haven't read any single Percy Jackson's books since they are not released yet in my country. But, i think i will buy them when they are released here because when i watch the Percy Jackson's movie i become interested in it like i interested in Harry Potter from the first movie too.

I finished this morning the last book of PJ. I really loved it and I hope for a sequel... Anyway I think those book are inspiring and awsome. I like the way of Rick Riordan (the writer) change the ancient greek myth to make them actual and modern. I hope to find books like those in future because I love reading. Can I suggest you the Eragon' saga? Or, maybe, you'd like the Markus Heitz' series. I did ^^

I read the Harry Potter books and then I think what I read now. When I walking and saw the Percy Jackson first book (Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The lighting thief) I said this is the book for me. I bought them and I start to read when I back home. I love to read books, I was read many books and I think this is once of the best books ever. The book is for a one boy, who understands that he is a son of the one of the Olympians God Poseidon and a half women. The story is very interesting, it is like Harry Potter. If you are not read it, read it because it is so interesting.

It is fun to read but I did not find it memorable. I like the theme of Greek mythology though. I also like the idea of a hero with a physical impairment.(Is dyslexia a physical impairment?)

I'd have read the Greek Mythology stories while at school,but hadn't reread them since..Then having an interest in Scifi and some fantasy as I read more,and seeing LOTR brought to the screen was worth the wait..I had some awareness of a Percy Jackson franchise,but wasn't aware of the story,and then I found "PJ and The Olympians" as an ebook series and read through them,and enjoyed the read..then visiting my Sister one evening I sat down with my Nephews and Nieces who were watching a movie,and as I watched the "Auntie G" part unfold,realised this was Percy Jackson..If You're looking for more books to read,stay with the rest of the PJ books..If You haven't discovered Tolkien as Yet,His intent was to create a fictional Mythology series to compete the Greco/Roman mythology that basically had that market cornered...Start with "The Hobbit",the first book in his series,which is currently in production for a Movie 2 parter release from 2012..LOTR is a more expanded sequel trilogy of books based in the same world,featuring some of the same Characters..the LOTR books are quite a dense read,and can take repeated visits..and the Appendices of the books go into a wealth of background detail,from the various characters,the peoples of "Middle Earth",even studies of the Written and spoken languages created and featured..If you like a bit more humour with your mythology,I'd recommend you check out Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series..

I have read The Percy Jackson Series and I love it!! It's fun to read I finished a book in one sitting. That's how engrossed I was with that book. I am currently reading "The Lost Hero" also by Rick Riordan I am halfway through it hopefully I can finish it this week because lately I have been busy. :)

I read them all but I won't spoil it. Another good series is the "Alex Rider" series they also made a movie (look up Storm-breaker). I have personally read all of these and loved each one First one is Storm-breaker 2nd one is Point Blanc
