A few (ok, several) years ago, I read that a movie was being made of something called Harry Potter. I knew nothing of it. I really didn’t get on board until the fourth book was released. I anxiously awaited the release of each successive novel and my love of the books remained high while my hatred of the movies grew exponentially following the release of POA. Moving back to the now: Reading that Sean Bean had been cast to play Zeus in an upcoming movie version of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief piqued my interest. (In all fairness, reading that Sean Bean ate a peanut butter sandwich would pique my interest, though.) It took a conversation between my Brazilian pals to convince me to get to know the content. Well, I guess you could say I “tweetdropped” on their twitter exchange. Heh.
This week, I read the entire Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. I absolutely adore it for many reasons. First and foremost on my list: the mythology. I have always had great interest in Greek mythology and these books had me researching all the characters as I went along to see just how many liberties had been taken with the gods as they were updated for this millennium. I have to admit that I was impressed with the modern take on each of them; even the slightly corny bits worked! Another reason I enjoyed the series was the ease of reading. Since they are technically childrens’ books, they were really quick reads. I also like the writing style of Rick Riordan. Each prophecy or mystery had me wanting, no needing, to know what would happen, and the story avoided so many of the “boy finds his destiny” cliches that I was satisfied with the twists and turns. I only wish there were even more books in the series.
Overall, I truly enjoyed the books and I can only hope the movies will be more Harry Potter and less Eragon in nature. Done properly, kids could one day be asking, “Harry who?”
Hi! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to take a look.
I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting
this to my followers! Great blog and great style and design.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied
on the video to make your point. You obviously know
what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or
copyright infringement? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or
outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any
methods to help stop content from being stolen? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
What i don’t understood is in fact how you are no longer actually a lot more well-preferred than you might be now.
You’re very intelligent. You realize therefore significantly on the
subject of this subject, made me in my view believe it from so many various angles.

Girl gaga! Your own stuffs excellent. All the time handle it up!
Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads
up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that
they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top
