The Review:

A wonderful narrative full of adventure and excitement, a witty, highly delightful, and easy to read novel with memorable and lovable characters that become even more remarkable with a fascinating and inventive plot. This time, you'll discover a lot more about the characters than you did in the last episode, "The Lightning Thief."

The last narrative was mostly situated in the reality, whereas this one is mostly set in the mythological world. A few alterations to the setup and camp, as well as new characters that will be included in this book. If you've already read "The Lightning Thief," you'll be able to read and comprehend this novel. This time, it's much better and a more solid tale than the prior. Instead of bouncing about and inconsistencies, it is truly on the way to excellence this time, and the author is intent on making this a fantastic series.

I really like the new characters presented in this book, and I discovered a new favorite among them. I didn't mind that the novel was shorter than the first. Adventure, mythology, humor, and friendship were all present as it was in the first book. Really one of the greatest series I've read in a long time, and it's truly accessible by practically any age reader with the exception of very young ones owing to the dread component, which isn't genuinely terrifying but maybe a little for younger readers even if adults don't notice it. As a result, I recommend that you do not purchase this book for readers under the age of 10.

You see the main cast again on a mission, but one of the major cast members has to be saved, thus we meet a few additional cast members. This book demonstrated the strength of teamwork, friends, and family, even when it is messy, and how these three links can fight the greatest opponent and aid in the completion of any task; basically, an excellent book for learning a lot about being a friend and family member, as well as loyalty.

I enjoy stories in which a girl is not shown as a damsel in distress since ladies are just as strong, brave, and competent as guys, and in many cases, they are stronger and even more capable, as well as having character strength. This is shown openly throughout the series, as the male main character is frequently saved by the female main character.

I must once again urge Harry Potter fans to check out this series if they are missing or waiting for the next book in the Harry Potter series, or if they are fans of magic and or a school or camp linked to magic with children and teens as the major cast. The Harry Potter series was fortunate in that the films based on the novels were excellent, but the Percy Jackson series was severely harmed by films that were not as brilliant as the books themselves. You actually have to read the books to understand how excellent the series is, and all of the novels in the series are as outstanding and magnificent as any best seller in the world that can be read by anybody regardless of age or gender since it has something for everyone who wishes to read it.

Final Thoughts:

A book series with both male and female strong characters that can be read by boys and girls, or in other words, it is for all males and females alike, and it is appropriate to read by adults as well since it has all the elements of a fantastic narrative with pleasure for the entire family.

The plot is action-packed, heartbreaking, and fascinating. I adored Rick Riordan's depictions of creatures and settings; he teaches Greek mythology in the most fascinating way possible, with faultless prose and a compelling journey. The big twist and the villains are also fantastically written, and the main twist that flips everything upside down will drive the readers insane in a good way But it all depends on how the reader perceives the surprise; for me, it was a refreshing shift, and if it occurred to me in real life, I'd be thrilled.

Synopsis:

“Percy Jackson and his friends undertake a perilous voyage to save their summer camp in this modern-day adventure with a Greek mythology twist.

* “In a feat worthy of his heroic subjects, Riordan crafts a sequel stronger than his compelling debut.”

After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tyson―a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any “normal” friends.

But things don’t stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders that protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters.

To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia―only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name…the Bermuda Triangle.

Now Percy and his friends―Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson―must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family―one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon’s son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.”

The Lightning Thief Summary

The Review:

The Lightning Thief is the first novel in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. It's fast-paced, well-written, and full of likable, believable personalities, even if they're divine offspring. This entire series is a must-read for everyone and a top choice for parents searching for interesting, engaging, and clean novels for both boys and girls. It is one of those rare books nowadays that are genuinely well-written and good with a global topic that's still relevant.

I feel compelled to remind readers who have only seen the movie and have never read the book that the movie is not near as excellent as the novel, and that if you stopped reading this series because of the movie, you should pick it up again since the book is far better and you will like it.

The tale is gripping, with likable characters and an intriguing plot full of twists and turns, all while skillfully bringing an old legend into the present world. the only thing bad about this book is the movies as I mentioned in the last paragraph, which does not follow the plot, have half the depth, and skip over more than half of the content that is appropriate for all ages, and are highly recommended for all children to teach them that they can achieve anything if they have willpower and determination. Truly inspirational story, although it may be a little terrifying for very young children at certain points, so wait till they are at least 10 years old.

While this novel is aimed at a younger audience, I, as an adult, found the exploits of Percy Jackson, the suspected lightning thief, to be entertaining. This story was intriguing, complicated, and progressed at a good speed. As you read the chapters, you'll learn a lot about the Greek and Roman Gods as you try to figure out how he'll get out of the position he's in, only to find yourself in one after another. It was an enjoyable read.

I believe I have already stated all that is wonderful about this novel without ruining it for the readers, and I am unable to add anything further, but the fact is that this book has no flaws that I have discovered. I won't say it's perfect, but it's almost faultless and beautiful. Simply read the book and listen to the audiobook, which is also excellent. (Kindle version is free at the time of writing this review but some conditions must be met so just read the conditions before you try to get the free Kindle version) (11/11/2021)

Final Thoughts:

This is a really fascinating book with fantastic characters and an action-packed narrative. It's humorous and lively, and I can see why these books had such a big impression on the world of children's reading. It, like several of the finest children's novels, conceals the fact that it is highly instructive by being great fun, and a youngster may learn a lot from it. It is not Harry Potter, but it will fill the void with magic and demigods. It is highly recommended for all ages, but not for extremely small children because it may startle them at times, even though we adults don't notice it.

Synopsis:

“The classic first book about Percy Jackson, the troubled boy who discovers he is the son of Poseidon, and his adventures with demigods, monsters, and Greek gods.

· This classic by #1 New York Times best selling author Rick Riordan has sold millions of copies throughout the world

· It has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 10 years

· Read in classrooms across the US

· Adapted into a movie, a Broadway musical, and soon, a TV series on Disney+

· Brings Greek mythology to life for modern readers

· Features beloved characters such as Annabeth Chase and Grover the satyr

· Funny and fast-paced

Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse--Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him.

When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, god of the sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends--one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena--Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.”

The Review:

This novel will break your heart, leave you gasping for air, and make you cry. An incredible narrative that may take its time to hit you, but once it does, it hits you hard. The title of this book has a significant importance in the plot, and it is also a significant date for the individuals you will fall in love with.

The way this novel strikes you over and over again by tearing your heart out and then punching you in the face is painful, yet you keep reading with tears in your eyes to find out what happens next and hope for happiness for the characters who are making you weep like this. While reading this story, I felt a pang in my heart, yet I still enjoyed it. Yes, you may believe the stars, high scores, and reviews are bogus at the beginning of this work, but once you get to the part where it starts to strike you, that's when it starts to receive all those five stars and hundred points.

Only a few novels and stories can provide you with all of your feelings and emotions, but this one did. It's packed with angst, love, heartbreak, twists, and turns, and so much more. I believe that readers who enjoy tearjerkers will enjoy this, but it is also for everyone, and any reader may read it just for the pleasure of reading a wonderful narrative and having a nice time, albeit with a lot of tears and pain. Here I want to recommend one more tearjerker called "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini.

It is written from two points of view, which makes it even more lovely, and I enjoyed it even more since it would not be as epic if it were simply one person's point of view.

I can't say anything else since anything else I say would inevitably be a spoiler, and I don't want to ruin anything for anyone, so I'll just stop. But there's one more thing I have to say, and it's what I usually say when readers dislike the book and the author because of characters they don't like. They must grasp that if all of the characters are flawless, the storyline gets monotonous and dies before it can live, so simply embrace the defects and how these imperfections create a tale and twists and turns that make you want to read more and more, which is what is known as a page-turner.

Final Thoughts:

One of those novels that you want to forget and revisit only to feel all the emotions it elicited. Colleen Hoover understands how to sucker punch the reader, then she grabs your heart and smashes it into pieces, just to later glue it back together. Even though I am not interested in the genres she writes about, I have read practically all of her works, which is a testimonial to her excellent writing abilities.

This novel made me laugh, weep, worry, and feel all that the characters were feeling. It genuinely makes the reader feel like they are a part of the tale. You feel as if you are in the narrative with the characters, which is just another testament to the author's exceptional writing ability. Be ready to cry a lot. I had no notion that some people enjoy tearjerkers and seek out literature that will make them weep. I realized why people are hunting for these books after reading a couple of them. I believe that these books should be read by everyone since they help to purify the spirit. Please leave a remark or write me to discuss this topic and let me know if I'm correct.
