I've been waiting to make this thread. I just got the new book, Mark of Athena, yesterday, and I've been vigorously reading it ever since. So, I decided that this thread could be used to talk about the books and such.

I probably won't be able to read Mark of Athena until winter break D: But I'd love to hear a bit about what it's like and stuff!
I LOVE the Percy Jackson novels. I bought the first three several years ago and read them all very quickly. Then I read the fourth and fifth ones when they came out. It's such an interesting and unique series. I'd love to reread them again sometime!

It's amazing! I'm not done just yet, but I'm loving it every step of the way!

Oh jeez, I love the whole 1st series. Now I'm working on reading the second series, but I haven't had the time to do so. What book do you guys like the best from the series?

Hmm, that's a tough one. They're all so good. But out of the first series, I'd say it's a tie between Battle of the Labyrinth and Last Olympian. And I love all of the books in the second series, but maybe Son of Neptune just a bit more.

Mine would be the Last Olympian. OMG looking back right now, I remember how obsessed I was with the books and I also loved the phrases they used. Like "Holy Poseidon" or "Oh my Zeus" LOL There was more...I just forgot them all. Who thinks the movie was horrendous? *raises hand*

Granted, I didn't even see it...xD But from what I've heard it didn't do the book any justice, which is hugely disappointing because that book definitely has the potential to be a great film if only the right director got a hold of the script.

It wasn't that bad. I'll admit that it wasn't completely true to the book, but it at least did better than Eragon did. Besides, I've already seen pics for the Sea of Monsters movie, and it looks like it's actually gonna be truer to the book. Annabeth's even gonna be blonde!

If that's the case, then I can't wait to watch it. Do you know when it'll come out
