Hello guys~ Here let's discuss about the book series Percy Jackson and The Heroes of Olympus.
Written by one of the most famous authors, Rick Riordan.

How many of you have read these and found them really cool? Cause I am a big fan of it. I just keep waiting for all the new books. Especially those involving Percy and the other 6 members of the Great Prophecy.

Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series were great novels that I had a pleasure of reading back in School. Unfortunately, the movie adaptations (as do most of them) served no justice to it and were utterly garbage.

What I didn't like: I could look past some of the short comings of the literature itself such as the dynamic relationships between the characters that have been overused as some sort of template that leaves you with those "I called it moments", however, what I couldn't get passed were simply the generic dialogues. I will say that the writing has redeemable qualities due to needing to be fast and digestible for younger audiences.

What I did like: There were plentiful of memorable moments that I could look back and say "Man, I really want to read the series again". I can't recall a time when an event occurred where it wasn't painted in a way that had you compelled to turn the next page and binge read the next book. He took Greek Mythology and really ran with it to make his own world to be delved into and explored.

I don't believe I have the heart to re-read the series as to preserve it as it was - a memorable series.

What's gonna happen to Bulbasaur?

Yesyes. I love it. Not only I like greek mythology, but I also like when people take old things such as tales and "modernize" them. Not in a reboot, but like how Rick did.

I totally agree with both of you. I really enjoyed reading the series.. I just feel like I want to read them again. Especially the Heroes Of Olympus series. That was really really nice.
The lost hero seemed a bit boring at the beginning but then everything went on good.
Thank you Rick for the wonderful series and I hope you do continue writing more books on the Greek Mythology.

Also guys, who is your favorite character in the Percy Jackson series and the Heroes of Olympus series?
