Percy Jackson & the Olympians Boxed Set (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, 1)

Product Information

You really begin to feel for him and you believe he is completely capable and brave but it's not overboard- he is not an adult-version of a 15 year old. A few contrasts that I really appreciate in PJ: I like the world continuity of using a single mythology (very well! Now Percy and his friends, along with the Hunters of Artemis, have only a week to find the kidnapped goddess and solve the mystery of the monster she was hunting.

It includes stickers, cards and a small map of Camp Half-Blood, hidden in a compartment beneath the books.Grover is the perfect sidekick, not too smart, not too brave - and feels like 'the Black token', especially in the movies. characters like Tyson, Grover, Luke, Nico, Chiron, Rachel, Beckendorf, Clarisse (yeah I like her too! I loved seeing Percy interact with his father Poseidon, and his bond with the other campers and his half-brother. Oh, of course, sacrifice, the death of a parent (faked in this case), the trio of friends, giant half-brothers, a school with 'houses' and a wise counselor, an evil guy who is very like the hero, the use of hidden and convenient prophecies, the use of magical artifacts that look mundane in the mortal world, the threat on the same mortals (but only in America).

Now Percy and his friends have just days to find the only magic item powerful to save the camp before it is overrun by monsters. Percy Jackson isn’t expecting freshman orientation to be any fun, but when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears, pursued by demon cheerleaders, things quickly go from bad to worse. Considering the target audience this felt like a book suited for young audiences , fast paced , easy vocabulary, quick witted , and overall civil.Another great installment—I can't tell if they get better as the series progresses, or it's just the awesome buildup of layers and complexities. OK, by the end my discreet eye-rolling phase was over, the narrative had redeemed itself somewhat, the ending was surprising and a pretty good one at that - and the drama from the females was much abated, so I guess I would recommend it! I read the entire series just a few months ago, and I highly respect Rick for being a mast storyteller.
