![]() Yes, that's right, that snot-faced, lily-livered waste of air of the very same name from the Harry Potter universe. This book has done the impossible: it has redeemed the name of Percy. While Harry Potter was spending his summers at the Dursleys, Percy Jackson attended Camp Half-Blood. The entrance to the Underworld is in Los Angeles.”As someone who has worked in Los Angeles, I can tell you that this is completely accurate. I can't wait to read the second one!Ĭhiron looked surprised. That might be what I said about the The Amulet of Samarkand but it's more true here. It's super fun and fast-moving and the fact that it's kind of a HP rip-off actually makes me like it more. Instead, I'll shock you by saying that I totally loved this completely derivative book. I could go on (and on and on) which would be fun for me, but I won't. Riordan's three young heroes face down a three-headed dog at the end of their big quest, which if I'm not mistaken is exactly what happens in HP1 (granted, the three-headed dog is straight out of Greek mythology, so I should cut Riordan some slack on this one). Harry/Percy can talk to a certain animal because of his special gifts (Harry could talk to snakes, Percy can talk to horses).Ĩ. Percy/Harry has a gross stepfather named Smelly Gabe who protects him during his childhood, so Smelly Gabe obviously equals the Dursleys.ħ. Chiron/Dumbledore knows a prophecy about Percy/Harry but won't tell Percy/Harry what it is exactly.Ħ. (Chiron, the head trainer of the camp, equals Dumbledore.)ĥ. The heroes train at a school that divides its students according to their character. The main bad guy (Kronos/Voldemort) is seeking to return to his former power, but most people are totally in denial of that happening.Ĥ. People freak when the Harry/Percy character says the name of a powerful character.ģ. There are three young heroes: a brainy girl (Annabeth/Hermione), a funny screw-up type (Grover/Ron), and a somewhat troubled but very brave lead (Harry/Percy).Ģ. When I was about halfway through this book, I started making a list of its similarities to Harry Potter. Just one thing though, I'm kind of pissed that they didn't have cabins in the movie. I loved the book, it was exciting, fast- paced and humorous. And I'm expecting something to develop between her and Percy, if you know what I mean. ![]() Especially Annabeth, who looks like Cinderella in Percy's words (am I right? I don't have the book on me, sorry. In short, the guy's the full package.Īnother thing I loved were the other characters. ![]() You have to give a guy who make you laugh some credit. He's super loyal to his friends and family, is brave and has the looks (this is the part when you look at the gif of Logan Lerman again D). What can I say? The guy has amazing underwater powers, is kick- ass and is a demigod. If only they were like that in the camps I've been to. The cabins would have to be my favourite feature of the camp, though. I could imagine everything vividly and I like to think that I know the camp from back to front. RR seriously out did himself with writing the camp. ![]() Well, it sure seemed better than the budget summer camps I've been to. I've always taken an interest in Greek Mythology and I thought Rick Riordan's take on it was very unique, and unlike anything I've read before. Because without his unfreakingbelieveable hotness, I wouldn't have watched the movie, and I would've never read the awesomeness of The Lightning Thief. What did I tell you? (I do imagine that you probably won't read the rest of the review anf just stare at this gif instead, but that's no reason not to like my review! :D)īut, I really have to thank Logan. But I'm even more ashamed that I watched the movie only to experience the hotness that is Logan Lerman.īut, come on! Someone tell me that this, is not hot: It also lets you upload different document formats.I'm slightly ashamed to say that I watched the movie before I read the book.
