The Titan's Curse 
2008-07-13
I love the Greek Mythology It's a great change from fairy stories. Its a different kind of magic. I have read all the books in this series except the 4th book I am still getting to that one. I love how the main character is not Hercules. Percy Jackson is a new kind of Hero.
excellent children's/young adult series

Both my 8 year old and 11 year old boys love this series. There is just the right amount of action to keep them hooked. Knowledge of mythology helps but is not necessary to enjoy these books.

This is book 3 in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. This time Percy receives an urgent distress call from his best friend Grover, a satyr which looks human expect for his goat legs and hooves. Percy immediately prepares for battle and knows he'll need help from his powerful demigod friends, Annabeth and Thalia; his trusty celestial bronze sword, Riptide; and . . . a ride from his mom? The half-bloods are only between the ages of 14 and 16. With Greek Gods and humans as parents . . . who has time to learn to drive a car? As a demigod, you're usually too busy fighting demons to worry about small things like that. Good thing Percy's mom is use to all the odd things involving her son.
Percy and his friends race to the rescue, and find that Grover has made an important discovery: two new powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown even to them. But that's not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have played right into it.
With the help of the Greek Gods and Artemis's Hunters, Percy and his friends charge into another quest that holds the fate of Olympus in his hands.
The Percy Jackson & Olympians series keep getting better with each book. Young readers begin to understand what the Fates have in store for their young hero Percy Jackson. More details about Chiron's prophecy are revealed and one of the Big Three has to make a choice many readers wouldn't expect. This series is one Harry Potter fans shouldn't miss and one reluctant readers won't want to put down!
The Titans Curse

This series was read by my 5th grader who didn't know who the greek heros were. He read it in less than a week and completed the 4 book series in a month. It encouraged him to go on to read other books on mythology. We hope Rick Riordan continues the series! He made education fun for my boy.
YES!

My 13 year old son had to read this book for a school report. As an option for extra credit, I read it also and completed a parent's book report for the teacher. This book was fantastic. I was surprised I enjoyed it so much. But, I tend to enjoy books on mythology.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a wonderful series that opens up to readers the greek mythology and vocabulary in a fun and exciting way. The twists and turns in the story keep it exciting, and make it enjoyableall the way to the end. The interplay between Percy and Zoe Naghtshade throughout the story show how different Percy is from the typical Greek Hero.

The Titan's Curse is about a teenage boy and his 4 friends going to Sanfrancisco to rescue one of their other friends and the Goddess of the hunt, Artemis. But they soon find themselves battling skeleton warriors and getting some help from angel statues made of celestial bronze. Also they find a harmless baby cow serpent that will determine the future of Olympus.
My favorite part of the book is when Percy, Zoë, Thalia and Grover are deciding what to do with Bessie the cow serpent. Grover, (a satyr), decides to travel with Bessie back to Camp Half-Blood. When Thalia, Zoë and Percy go across the Golden Gate Bridge and up the mountain to save Annabeth and the Goddess, Artemis. When Annabeth's dad shooting the monsters down with celestial bronze bullets from a fighter plane saves them.
This is a really exciting book full of surprises. This book will make you want to keep reading no matter what part you're at. Its full of Greek and Roman mythology. If you like Greek and roman mythology you should read the whole series of books about Percy and his friends. If you don't, read the book anyway, you'll start to like it.

The Percy Jackson series has brought Greek Mythology to our home. Both my teens and I have enjoyed the first two books and the third was no exception. Great series!
Don't Normally Read for Fun

I think this may be the best book ever. In fact, that IS the best book ever. I'm trying to encourage the author to write a fifth book for the Percy Jackson series. I don't normally read for fun but since I started reading "Lightning Thief", it encouraged me to read the next three books. I just finished The "Titans Curse" and now I'm reading "The Battle of the Labyrinth" and so far it's great and I know I'll love it.
