I love Rick Riordan's writing style and characterization. I have always enjoyed mythology and he does a great job of bring any and all mytholgy to life in a fresh and new way. I find the characters to be engaging and to feel really real. His characters feel fresh and diverse without feeling like he makes them diverse just to have diversity. He does not belabor the point of their diversity it just is a fact of who they are and yet anyone who reads his books can feel included in representation. I love how he weaves the mythology into modern times so you feel like you are learning something as you are being entertained. ( )
This book is full of insightful essays on the Percy Jackson series. The vast majority of them were interesting to read, but a few I did not care for as they seemed sort of random compared to the others. The author’s introduction was insightful. My favourite part was the glossary at the back and the essay about the Rags to Riches plot line of the novel. ( )
This was far more interesting in concept than in execution. I leafed around, dipping in and reading a bit, flipping through and reading a bit more. I didn't find much to hold me save Riordan's introduction, which was funny and interesting. There might be more meat here for teachers than for the average reader like me. I just couldn't find anything that was compelling enough to read.
