Percy Jackson

Book 2: The Sea Of Monsters

Percy Jackson Sea of MonstersPercy’s friend, Grover, goes on a mission to find the wild god Pan. But he gets a message from him that he is trapped on an island with a cyclops who has a golden fleece and needs help. Percy asks for a quest to go find him and get a golden fleece from the island.

The other thing that happened is the tree that keeps the magical border sealed was poisoned. The gods all thought that this was Chiron’s fault. So, the gods took him away. This other person is now filling in for him, but he is not the most friendly. When Percy asks for a quest, he puts Clarisse on it. Percy now has to sneak out of the camp to save his friend and get the golden fleece, but Luke is under a spell of Kronos and is trying to stop Percy from succeeding. Can Percy do it and come back alive?

I thought this was an action packed book and had a lot of duels that made reading it thrilling. My favorite part was when Percy was trying to kill the Hydra. He, Annabeth, and Tyson have to defeat it with fire. Another good part was when they were on Circe’s island, Percy got turned into a hamster. It was really funny! I really like this book and thought it was one of my favorites. This book is the second of a five book series.

Percy Jackson And The Olympians

Book 1: The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson And The OlympiansIn the first book of the series, Percy Jackson figures out he’s not a normal kid, he’s a demigod. Now he has to go on a quest with Annabeth and Grover to get Zeus’ lightning bolt back. Will he make it back alive?

Percy, Anabeth, and Grover set out together to get the lightning bolt but Zeus thinks Percy has stolen it. Percy has only 10 days to get it back but there is lots to overcome, such as hideous monsters, angry gods, and finding out who his father is.

I thought the book had lots of action with fierce battles that Percy faced against monsters. One of my favourite battles was when Percy was fighting Ares. This is a real test for Percy because Ares is the God of War and best fighter there is and this made the battle really tense. Percy is really funny and there’s lots of jokes throughout the book, making the book very entertaining.

I think this is one of my personal favourites and one of Rick Riordan’s best books. This is book one of a five book series and it got me into to reading more books by Rick Riordan and other authours.
