My little brother has read and loved the books though and we watched the movie together. I have a feeling it's not as great as the books however. Am I right? <br /><br />I'll have to ask him if he read The Son of Neptune since I know this one came out recently.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-65413763538123879262011-11-12T17:18:27.364-06:002011-11-12T17:18:27.364-06:00Crazy is my name...I haven't read a single boo...Crazy is my name...I haven't read a single book in this series.

I know you had some issues with it.<br /><br />Jennifer: I completely agree. I'm a little worried how he's going to fit all 7 povs in the final book. I guess we'll see.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-14651600644038897192011-11-10T01:31:03.067-06:002011-11-10T01:31:03.067-06:00LOVED this book!

And I agree with you, this series is maturing along with its characters. I liked the orderly nature of Rome and that it allows them to protect half bloods and their families. I also enjoyed the different points of view, it added depth to the story and never got confusing.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075396524555306851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-38606459771859192172011-11-09T22:09:30.040-06:002011-11-09T22:09:30.040-06:00I freaking LOVE this series (as well as Percy, Red...I freaking LOVE this series (as well as Percy, Red Pyramid...all of them). I haven't had the time to read this one yet, but it certainly sounds like it doesn't disappoint.

Sounds like Riordan does a good job of incorporating it into his stories.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.com
