I read the Strengths and Weaknesses part of your review and skipped the rest because I have TLH at home and haven't gotten to it yet. (must finish Erec Rex first)Our daughter, who vieswith me for being Charlotte's #1 Percy Jackson fan, read it right away and loved it. <br />I think one reason Rick Riordan is so loyal to his fans is because they made him what he is now. His books didn't get a lot of publicity but they became popular through word of mouth. He said that once he was at a bookstore to sign copies of The Lightning Thief and no one paid attention to him--except for one person who asked him where the restroom was! But once kids started the buzz,he became popular. No wonder he does so much for his fans!Iron Guy Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719802406868125435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-51384959954380522382010-10-21T12:58:27.505-04:002010-10-21T12:58:27.505-04:00I'm in the middle of this book right now.

I love Rick Riordan but I think this series will appeal most to those who have not read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (or maybe those who can't get enough of Percy, even after five books!). For those who have read the previous series, the old formula is a bit too familiar in this one.JenStorySnoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799748246908650072noreply@blogger.com
