The Titan's Curse

I'm reading The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan. Its the third book in the Percy Jackson series. This book so far has been the best in the series. The series is about a boy named Percy Jackson and his friends that go to a camp called Camp Half-blood, they go on a quest together and save or find something depending what book. In this book so far Percy goes on a quest with some of his friends Thalia, Grover, Bianca di Angelo, and Zoe Nightshade. They are going to find Zoe and Bianca's leader, Artemis. The only reason Percy wanted to go on this quest is to save his friend Annabeth, another one of Percy's friends, but he did not tell that to his friends yet.


This book is really action packed and full of imaginations. Sometimes I don't really like too much action in books because it sometimes gets hard to understand. In this book it has just a little too much action but I still really like this book. Sometimes when I'm reading a series I sort of get bored of it and almost start not really paying attention in what's going on in the book. For me right now feel like I'm about to start to not pay attention, so I think after i finish The Titan's Curse I will try a different book and than come back to the series.


I chose to start this series because when Rick Riordan came to our school last year and talked about the books he wrote, I was not that interested in them. I kind of thought they were boyish and seemed sort of weird. This year I saw some girls reading them and I asked them if they were good and they said yes so I decided I would try it. The first couple of days I thought the book was strange and I thought I would have to quit it. After a week passed it started to get really good and I could not stop reading. I'm so glad I did not judge this book by the cover otherwise I would not of started this really good book. Even though I said I might stop the series, I never said it was not a great book. Its a fabulous book.


In this book for me its hard to really imagine the characters. In the book orders from school you could get this series of books and it showed a picture of Percy. I did not at all imagine that's what he looked like at all. The hardest characters for me to imagine is Annabeth and Thalia. In the book it says Thalia is sort of goth. That just makes it harder for me some reason. Annabeth is also hard for me to imagine. I don't really know why it just is. I'm wondering to myself why are the girls hard for me to imagine.


I think it was my first of second book blog and I mentioned that I thought The Lightning Thief might come out in a movie. Well a couple of days ago I saw a poster of it and that it is really coming out in a movie. I'm so excited to see how they have the characters look like. The people I most want to see is Annabeth, Grover, and Chiron. Those are some people I can't imagine.


I'm so glad I chose this book and without it I would have been struggling on what to read and start to think why am I reading this book, it's so boring or strange. When I think about it I wonder why I did not want to read The Percy Jackson series. I love this book and I hope others will too.
