The Percy Jackson books are well written, entertaining, fast-paced and completely addictive. They are also quite educational full of historical facts (ok myths and legends but still). If you love stories abot Greek Gods, and ancient stories generally you will love these books. I read all seven in less than seven days and am seriously considering re-reading them immediately. For me that is the key test of a good book, will I re-read it? If the answer is yes, then it had something that caught me, when the answe is yes, immediately then it really impressed me. The Percy Jackson books make you think, I want to read them again now while they’re already fresh in my mind so I can find the parts that I might have missed on first reading, so I can look for clues to the things I know will happen.

Hopefully young readers will read these books and because of the way they are written will find a love of books and of reading. These are not just great stories they are an invite into a world of magic, myth and heroes; a place to escape to when you feel the need.

Well done Mr Riordan…………………….And please could we have the next installment sooner???
