"In a feat worthy of his heroic subjects, Riordan crafts a sequel stronger than his compelling debut."
"Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats."
著者について
Rick Riordan is also the author of the New York Timesbest-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book One: The Lightning Thief and Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Two: The Sea of Monsters. His previous novels for adults include the hugely popular Tres Navarre series, winner of the top three awards in the mystery genre. He lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife and two sons.
My 9 year old son adores these. He is not massively bookish but he has now got through 3 in the series and requested more. I've read a chapter or 2 to him to see what they are like. As expected, good accessible with enough action to keep you interested. The interweaving of Greek mythology into a modern day setting is clever (sort of like blending vegetables into dinner so the kids don't notice!) I would recommend. But really the recommendation is that it keeps boys interested in reading...

after reading the first two books on holiday i was hooked and had to buy the next one.This one is definitely harder to follow than the first two but i enjoyed it becabuse it has a lot of mystery and a huge twist at the end.There are quite a few new characters in this aswell i am an eleven year old that has finished the harry potter books so if you have finished these go and try the harry potter books or if you have finished harry potter read these and i grantee you will enjoy it either way.Also if you finish these and you like the greek mythology Rick has wrillen plenty more about greek stuff.I dont know why but this book gave me a lot of ideas for art but all of the others did too do artists get reading .Great book for any age over ten :)
"There are parties, and then there are huge, major, blowout parties. And then there are Olympian parties. If you ever get a choice, go for the Olympian."
Heh. I think this quote just sums up exactly why I like these books so much!
We are back with Percy, aged 14 now, getting into mischief and breaking every rule.
There is such a fine line between Percy being an annoying brat and a great character but I think Riordan definitely adds enough humanity and humour that he is very likeable, once you get by his rather immature moments. (It's okay Percy, I will snort at your stupidity sometimes and really want to slap you but I still like you)!
The plot in this book is incredibly fast paced. There isn't a moment of downtime and not a page that doesn't have a meaning. It dives straight into the action from the first page.
This book is definitely not suitable to be read as a stand alone. You need to have some sort of background. Even though we have reminders throughout the book about past occurrences, there simply isn't enough information for a new reader.
Bought the whole series of Percy Jackson for my 12-year old son who liked a lot all 5 books (including this) and read them during a relatively short time. When he finished the Harry Potter series he was in trouble what to read next so we pick these for him. I am glad we did because the story is good and engaging, adventurous enough for a young boy plus it teaches some about acient greek history (which is a bonus really). I would definietly recommend it.
