I missed you Percy!

I LOVE all the Rick Riordan books, but I continually notice that very young girls are paired with very old guys: Sadie and Walt (13 and 16), Sadie and Anubis (HE'S 5000 YEARS OLD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!), and Hazel and Frank, the latter of whom is sixteen. But I also think that girls are a lot more mature than boys, and with two 13 year olds, the girl would be much more mature. But still, I do find it a tad weird. I don't think it's a bad thing though, just wanted to make an observation.

The Son Of Neptune

I think this book is really great for kids that have read the former percy jackson series-(including the lost hero)-it is so good i read it twice today! not necessarily meant for under nines because it contains a bit of violence.

Son Of Neptune:

This book takes place in many places throughout western America and Canada. It also has many different time zones ranging from modern day to the 1970s. In this book it follows Percy who has lost all his memories except the names of his girlfriend Annabeth, Hazel a teenage daughter of Pluto out off her time, and Frank a big unclaimed demigod with a secret. The trio are tasked with the quest that will either save or destroy everything they know and love depending on if they complete it or fail, they have to save Thanatos, the hand of death. If he isn't freed then monsters will never die. He is guarded by a formidable enemy of ancient power. While they do this the roman camp has to fight their own battle at home against a army of monsters led by an immortal enemy. If you have any interest in mythology or even action/adventure in general, this is the book for you. Full of action, cliffhangers, sorrow, and even love in a few places. I recommend this book to anyone wanting a good read. -Austin Manrique

Will Keep you Flipping 'Till the End

I thoroughly enjoyed the banging return of our favorite hero, Percy Jackson. I was absolutely mesmerized by Hazel and Frank's terrifyingly wonderful back stories and enjoyed their contribution to the story, though, sometimes I found myself frantically flipping pages wondering when Percy would return. It was interesting to read Percy's chapters from 3rd person and I loved reading about the fact that the only thing he could remember was Annabeth's name...It touched my heart:*)

Love this book!

This book was amazing! I loved having Percy back, and was relieved that he remembered Annabeth, since I'm a really big romantic. The whole story was awesome, can't wait to get The Mark Of Athena in a couple days!

the best Percy Jackson ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this books really good I preferred Jason from the first book to Percy but Frank and Hazel are really good charecters. the books got a really good storyline, good description and is amazingly well written. I love the way the Lost hero and the son of Neptune are connected and cannot wait for the third one in the series. I really dont think there's alot of violence atall.overall one of the best books ever read.

Great Book!

Just like the first book, and the Percy Jackson series, the products aren't advertized, just used for humor. I hate the cliff hanger, and not just because I hate cliff-hangers in general, but I really wanted that part to have a lot of detail, and I know he's going to skip over that part to start the next book. There is a little violence, but not much. I'm thrilled that Percy's back, but some of the jokes don't sound like him.
