Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

"Adventure follows chaotic adventure at a rapid pace, and readers with even a passing acquaintance with the Odyssey will enjoy this fresh use of familiar stories." (School Library Journal)

Featured Article: Percy Jackson—A Percy Jackson and the Olympians Character Guide


Percy Jackson is the eponymous hero of the best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. He made his debut in The Lightning Thief at just 12 years old, where he discovered the shocking truth about his parentage: He is a demigod, the son of a mortal woman and the god Poseidon. Beyond his own series, he was one of the protagonists in the Heroes of Olympus series and has since appeared in other spin-off novels and series from Riordan.

Sophmoric

Rick Riordan's second book in the Olympus series is quite good, but is not as entertaining as the first book. However, much like JK Rowling, his second book seems to be a spring-board for upcoming books in the series: Events that transpire in book 2 will likely be relevant in later books in the series. I look forward to "The Titan's Curse".

Great book, even better reader.

you all know how great the book is, but the vocal performance is simply amazing. it's so engaging, and entertaining I feel like I'm watching a movie! I really wish audible would allow Jesse to re do the heros of Olympus, I would re buy the books for that!

Fun

Not exactly the most eloquent of writing, but its fun and easy to pick back up when you're eating lunch in your truck.

Narrator issues.

Oh why did you do this to one of Uncle Rick's book? They are wonderfully written. Great stories. And then the narrator makes certain characters sound ridiculous and sadly stupid.

A rather short but welcomed sequel

The sequel installment may not have been as long as I’ve wanted but it doesn’t lack entertainment. Although the plot was as fast as the chariot races Riordan somehow still managed to build characters on their journey
