[CONTD.] Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Titan's Curse (Rick Riordan)   It's not every day you find  yourself in combat with  a Half- Lion, Half- Human. But when you're the son of a Greek god, it happens. And now my friend Annabeth is missing, a goddess is in chains and only five half-blood heroes can join the  quest to defeat the doomsday monster. Oh, and guess what. The oracle has predicted  that not all of us will survive... Thoughts:   Oh god. These books just keep getting better. By the end of The Sea of Monsters, I sold my soul to Percy Jackson and I got so committed to the story that I decided to ditch every other book that I was reading and continued to complete the series. I read this book in a day or two. Did I tell you that I love Percy? No? I DO, with all my heart!!! Anyway, we get new characters in this book, and like the other books in the series, it is full of action! Out of all the books, I liked ...

                        Even though I LOVE this book, it is my least favorite of the series.  NO, I do not hate this book, its just that this series just keeps getting better and better! In this book Percy is now 13, t he story starts off in New York with Percy back living with his mother, getting ready to finish school and return to Camp Half Blood. He has also befriended an unusual friend named Tyson who goes to the same school as him. Meanwhile  Percy's strange dreams tell him something's wrong at Half-blood Hill and the monster attack (also the dodge ball game!) at his school's gym proves it. While fighting the monsters, Annabeth comes to their rescue and Percy blows up his school (AGAIN), and he escapes with Tyson and Annabeth. Annabeth seems to have some bad-blood with Tyson and is seen giving him the stink eye. When they reach camp, there’s already a lot of trouble going on there and Percy and...

Arrrghhhh... PERCY JACKSON!!! Okay. I've had this book since a really long time, but never read it because? I seriously can't remember the reason anymore. I cannot believe I've waited this looooong to get to this book, because this book is everything! So to start, the best thing I like about this series is that it's set in the 21st century, so it's relatable (well not in a demigod-ish camp-halfblood way). The character development is amazing, and so is the friendship development. Also the way this story just molds with Greek Mythology and has so much greek elements to it is just so fascinating. All those Greek Gods and stuff! This book is about a boy named Percy Jackson who has special needs. He is dyslexic and has ADHD (but there's a reason for that). His father is Poseidon –YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!! THE FRIGGING GOD OF THE  SEA (how cool is that?).  So he's dyslexic because his brain is 'hard-wired' to read ancient Greek and ADHD is jus...
