Percy Jackson and the Olympians Boxed Set, The (Percy Jackson & the Olympians)

The books arrived on time, and in excellent condition. The price was vry reasonable. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase.

I am 50+ and loved these books as much as my 8 yr old niece. Who would've thought a current day preteen could be faced with dealing with ancient Greek mythological gods?!? And to be enthralling reading to boot! This is not at all like Harry Potter; BUT, if you enjoy HP, you'll enjoy Percy Jackson. It helps to be familiar with Greek mythology before reading about Percy; but you can definitely learn as you go without feeling like you are.
Pick it up, start reading and I bet you will not want to stop!

We are reading this out loud and the whole family is enjoying it. The weaving in of Greek Mythology stimulates lots of fun discussions.

My 4th grade son who does not love to read absolutely loves this series. I can't get him to stop reading; he is reading instead of TV, video games, outside, etc. I read a few chapters of each of the 4 and they are well written, funny, and full of action/adventure. Great books!

totally awesome books. they just get better and better in the series, and you will think they are too short. it is really cool to see how this author merges greek mythology and modern day society in the books.
