I read this series when it was originally published and didn’t think about it much after I’d finished. I liked it, yes, but it wasn’t a new obsession for me and I never really planned on revisiting Percy’s world. Then I watched the teaser for the Disney+ show coming out next year and checked them out from the library and that’s how I spent my last two weeks. The series follows Percy Jackson, who finds out he’s a demigod, the son of Poseidon and a […]

Dude, where is my lightning bolt?

Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief: The Graphic Novel by Robert Venditti

The graphic novel adaptations of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief: The Graphic Novel seems to rely on you having read the full novels. In fact, most of the graphic novel adaptations feel this way. However, you can still follow the action, but sometimes things fell assumed or feel missing. They are good books, but not great in my opinion. I will still read him, as I like the comfort of the reading level and the story itself, but I will […]

Lester Papadopoulos closes it out

The Trials of Apollo : The Tower of Nero by Rick Riordan

We’re big fans of Rick Riordan in my house- my son has been re-reading various of his book series for the last four years pretty much non-stop. His latest book, The Tower of Nero, completes the five-book Trials of Apollo series and wraps up the Greek and Roman mythologies he began in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. In this series, the god Apollo is punished by Zeus by being cast down to Earth in the form of a pimply, flabby teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. Apollo has lost his powers […]

The Lighning Thief by Rick Riordan

I put off reading these books all this time because I always assumed they were just another one of those series of books capitalizing on the astounding success of Harry Potter. Having read it, I think that may be unfair, but not wholly unfounded. I didn’t think this book was particularly good, but numerous sequels, a failed movie franchise, and viable name recognition for it’s author are all a result of a driving need for something to fill the void of a Harry Potter franchise […]

Hoo, boy am I behind in reviews. Here’s to a rapid catch up before year-end! The Heroes of Olympus series is a follow-up to Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson books. Book 1, The Lost Hero, introduces three new characters in to the world of modern-day demigods. The twist is that the main character, Jason Grace, doesn’t seem quite Greek. He has no memory before he wakes up on a school bus for a field trip the Grand Canyon, but fleeting snatches of memory come to him […]

Preteen angst, extra special snowflake edition.

I have been reading an awful lot of YA fiction lately – partly out of interest, and partly out of reading to my son. I figure I better read to him while he is willing to listen, and Santa brought him the Percy Jackson box set for Christmas. I have recently lost him at story time to his father and Harry Potter, and I confess I am tempted to read ahead and see where the book series goes. I can only be patient for so […]
