Wow! Loved it! Rick Riordan sure knows how to infuse a great story, real kid characters, action, and mythological stories. In this new series, a brother and sister, get thrown into a crazy ride with every Egyptian god and goddess you can think of.
I actually finished the book about a month ago and probably read about twenty in between, but what sticks with me is this - very cool! It's told from both the brother and sister's point of view. You have to look at the top of each page if you forget who is speaking. Their father summons some Egyptian gods in a museum and gets "sucked" into one of their spirits and into a coffin down to Hades. From there his kids are thrown on a nonstop roller coaster ride of mystery and action.
Unless you really hate fantasy, I can't think of anyone who wouldn't enjoy this one.
I disagree, Sorry! I personally think the Lightning Thief was better. No one learns, or knows, much about the Egyptian gods, so it was a litle confusing to follow.
ReplyDeleteOkay. I can't disagree with you. I did like Lightning Thief better. I still liked this story, though. Do you think there should be sequels to this? Would you read it?
ReplyDeleteI think there still should be sequels, it will give the audience a chance to respect other countrys cultures and learn more. I definetly would read it, Rick Riordan is one of my favorite authors.
