Why did all the girls look like they were 30 years old? ( )

There are some graphic novels that fit the original text of the book like a glove. This is not one of them. It reads almost like an afterthought, like someone wrote it simply to cash in on Riordan's novels. The art is also strange - character designs feel rushed and half-finished and at times ugly. The only one I really liked was Thalia and she plays a ridiculously reduced role in this version of the novel. My advice is to simply skip this and read the original. You won't regret it. ( )

I guess I shall have to get used to how short these graphic novels are compared to the originals. It was well written, and the characters were characterized well. It was neat to see the gruesome faces of the giants and ogres, and how beautiful yet terrifying Medea is. ( )
