The books are amazing! They have so much action in them right from the start! If you desperately need a good series to lose yourself into than start here. The funny thing is, is that you learn so much about Greek mythology when reading them. You suddenly find that you know all the answers to any question about the Greek gods!

Series creator Rick Riordan joins forces with some of the biggest names in the comic book industry to tell the story of a boy who must unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

my teacher has beening reading this book to us and i love it she also said when she's done we are going to see the movie
It was much better than the movie
my favorite series. I read the whole series. I also read the Heroes of Olympus series. I started reading it when I was in kindergarten. my favorite book was the last Olympian then The titans curse then The battle of the labyrinth then the lightning thief then the sea of monsters. though all of them were pretty good. I agree with hyper monkey I can't wait till the Blood of Olympus comes out.

I have seen the movie, but i hadn't read the book yet. shortly after i saw the sea of monsters movie, i bought this graphic novel from the book store. It was an AMAZINGLY SUPER COOL GRAPHIC NOVEL! I was big on graphic novels at the time, and I thought that i would give this book a try. And I'm glad I did!
All the nostalgia I'm feeling right now is killing me. See, now I'm dead. Thanks. These books (+HoO) are literally my childhood. When The Blood of Olympus comes out, I'll be crying for an estimated three years. But aren't I supposed to be doing something? Oh, yeah. . . The Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series is great for kids ages eight and older. The main plot is that Perseus Jackson, a demigod in the modern world, has to defeat the evil Titan, Kronos, because a prophecy foretold a child of the gods either saving or destroying Olymus. (Half boy, half god, all hero. Catchy, right?) The books are funny, suspenseful, and action-packed. Read it, you won't regret it. But if you're a demigod, it may very well change your life. . .
I wish I was the son of posieden.
Let me just tell you right now that Rick Riordan (in my opinion) is the best author in the world. My favorite books by him are the Percy Jackson series. This series includes; The Lightining Theif, The sea of monsters, The Titan's curse, The Battle of the Labrinth, and The Last Olympian. All are on DOGO. Percy Jackson lovers, do you want more? Then try the new Heroes of Olympus series! This includes; The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, and coming soon, The House of Hades!
