Percy Jackson and the Olympians Hardcover Boxed Set (Percy Jackson & the Olympians) Review
Move over Harry Potter - there's a new boy-hero in town!
Despite drawing several comparisons with the Harry Potter season - which is logical when you think that the initial premise is the same (boy discovers he's special, goes away from home to learn more about these skills, makes a couple of good friends, gets into adventures and ends up fighting against a seemingly undefeatable foe). The difference between this series and the Harry Potter series is that Riordan updates Greek mythology to both educate and entertain.
The story focuses on Percy, a boy who discovers that he's a demi-God - and what a demi-God, a child of one of the "big three"... He also discovers that someone is trying to start a war between Gods and, when that fails, destroy them by any means necessary.
With five individual stories, linked together by an over-arching theme, these books are entertaining and feature a variety of mythological characters that have been updated and made to fit into modern society.
Definitely worth a read for fans of any book series - Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, etc...
