I figure some of them are unknowns at this point, and I hope, hope Percy & Annabeth will be there. :D <br /><br />KMont, I hope you enjoy The Lightning Thief. I loved that series as a whole. This is a good beginning to the sequel and a great adventure, but I think the 3rd person POV takes away from it. I loved the 1st person POV in the Percy books... much more effective.Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-81850535590810737572010-11-18T15:24:45.054-05:002010-11-18T15:24:45.054-05:00I have the first Percy Jackson book somewhere in m...I have the first Percy Jackson book somewhere in my hug TBR pile and every time I see the author mentioned I'm reminded that I need to get to reading it!

I have to say, I wasn't that fond of Piper. She got on my nerves at times.<br /><br />I'm trying to figure out who will be the 7 :Pnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-67868142964059452882010-11-18T09:07:55.714-05:002010-11-18T09:07:55.714-05:00LOL, Orannia... you wrote it. ;P But!

Although I guess if you haven't read the books, the movie would be okay? Don't know.

Well, I don't think they have to worry. It's not Percy, but it's the same world and the characters are all there too, sooo... yeah, maybe you can get her to read it. :) It's good! <br /><br />Leslie, that's too funny! And yeah, a great idea by Christine. You know? The two boys in my family loved the Percy books and are looking forward to this one. Hope you can convince yours. :DHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-27857362763713052442010-11-17T10:54:01.836-05:002010-11-17T10:54:01.836-05:00Good idea Christine!

They're not big readers so I have to trick them into reading new books. Otherwise, all they would read are those Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.

I would love to see my 6th grader get into this series because she loved the Percy Jackson series... but she keeps saying no every time I suggest it! I'll just have to borrow it from the library and have it laying around. I bet she'd read it if it was here. LOLChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.com
