I didn't want to see the film first.<br /><br />Kristi - I think it might be a bit old for him too. But I think it will be a great series to keep on the shelves for later!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-46186261755146459922010-10-03T13:47:48.631-07:002010-10-03T13:47:48.631-07:00I enjoyed this book as well. I read it to see if ...I enjoyed this book as well. I read it to see if my seven year old would enjoy it. The reading level is fine but I haven't decided if the Greek Mythology will go over his head. I was looking forward to seeing the movie but based on your review, I think I'll pass. From the previews I saw, it seems like they made Percy older in the movie as well.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-53514413804568712762010-09-29T03:23:51.220-07:002010-09-29T03:23:51.220-07:00I'm sooo glad to hear it!

The book has been sitting on my shelves for a while, but meanwhile I saw the movie and was completely put off!<br /><br />I'm glad to know the book is much better!Alex (The Sleepless Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03083761152675156469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-37716010530664918702010-09-27T18:34:08.760-07:002010-09-27T18:34:08.760-07:00I was wondering how this was a RIP read! : )

This really is a wonderfu...I could not agree more! This really is a wonderful series of books (I've read them all). We can only hope the they stop at one movie! Definitely pick up The Red Pyramid -- it is an equally enjoyable story about a brother and sister who harness their newly discovered magical powers to defeat a rogue Egyptian god who is plotting to destroy North America.

Even if I read these books I will never ever ever see the film.
