Son of Neptune - Book Review

I loved this book! It’s now my favorite book in the world. You have to read The Percy Jackson series and The Lost Hero to figure out this book. The only thing i don’t like is the ending because it’s a cliffhanger. The book is set in the Roman camp, Camp Jupiter, because Juno/Hera sends Percy to the camp after wiping his memory. Percy can’t remember his past and has to find a new life at the Roman camp. He is now best friends with Hazel, daughter of Pluto/Hades, and Frank, son of Mars/Ares. Percy and his new friends go to Alaska(out of reach of the gods)and try to kill a giant named Alcyoneus who has captured death. On their journey they meet many friends and many foes. A group that they first face are the Amazons. The Amazons are a band of women that run Amazon, the shopping website, and it turns out that they have many weapons and try to kill our trio of heroes. The Amazon’s queen turns out to be good and helps them. Read this book to find out what happens. If I rated this book from 1-10 I would give it a 10. In fact I do give it a 10. So read the book it’s amazing!!!!

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief book review

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

reviewed by Jack

As you can see I love Rick Riordan books. In Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Percy goes on an adventure with Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena god of knowledge, and Grover Underwood, a satyr/Percy’s best friend, for two of the most powerful weapons on the face of the planet. The Master bolt and the Helm of Darkness have been stolen by a mysteries figure who came to Olympus. Zeus and Hades are tremendously angry about Percy (they think Percy has stolen them).

Does Percy survive this quest or will he die? Find out when you read the book!!!!
