Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods

If you are one of those who are about to ask me “what! Greeks have different gods?” or “why is that weird hairy dude carrying a pitch fork? (by the way it is not a pitch fork, its a trident) orwho slept with whom (don’t ask it’s a long list….even worse than the whole Lindsay Lohan hookup list) then this is your thing. Its freaking hilarious people I always knew Zeus was kind of a….. (you get the idea) but now I am convinced that so was his father, mother, sister, brother, daughter, son….basically the whole clan. You thought the Addams family was a freaky bunch, try the Olympians. I m confused as to how these people address themselves. “ Hey sister who is also my wife and mother of my children and somebody else’s as well….. (yeah …that’s definitely not going to work) Believe me. At one page they are sister-brother, then turn over and they are married and have children and then the wifey cum sister goes to have kids with somebody else and brother cum husband cum pervert has kids with somebody else…. Phew ! talk about familial issues and relationship status (and you thought your relationship was complicated ) I picked this book just after having completed D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths and by now I had a vague idea of who is who and who did what in Greek mythology. So basically “Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods” was just refreshing what I now knew about Greek Gods. But what I got was more than a run over. It was pure entertainment Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods is a hilarious take on the gods. It is sarcastic, humorous, and witty. Along with all these, it also gives you apt and relevant details on the twelve Olympian gods right from their very origin. The book scored with me with its humor. I was laughing so hard with each pages of this book There are so many twists and turns to greek mythology. Its more twisted and darker than the whole Corleone family from Godfather but the book maintains itself with the basics and essential details of the twelve Olympian gods. Trust me that is more than enough to make you want to bath yourself in fire to clean up the aftereffects of coming into close contact with the gods. But the book is a thorough entertainer and will keep your funny bones tickling Greek Gods are not exactly pure and saintly and in fact each comes with their own share of debauchery, wickedness, cruelty and creepiness. While all other books dwindle between keeping it light and less creepy, this book has brought out things in its true form yet not making you squirm with repulsion but dying of laughter. This book is your “Greek gods for dummies” but with a generous amount of humor. The language will crack you up and by the end you will know more about the twelve Olympians than what your teacher tried to squeeze into your brain.

I absolutely love the pjo book series the book is absolutely great with the amount of concerningly funny humor.

Worth every penny! This book is a massive sum up of Greek Mythology, a chapter for every one of the twelve olympians, with bonuses like Hades, Persephone and Hestia! Percy's voice gives a whole new outlook to this world. Full of sarcasm and wit, Persassy strikes again! Beautifully written and full of jokes, this is a must buy for every PJO fan! It fulfills your hunger as you wait for the Blood Of Olympus! Go on an buy it! Other than that, I suffered a lot of problems with my amazon. After several attempts to dhange the address, something happened and the package stopped, so i had to order again. Layer on, it randomly went out for delivery again, One of my only bad experiences with amazon.

This great book is written by Uncle Rickkkkk

tried learning greek mythology? failed??dats cuz you ,my buddy did not wait for wonderfull prof. Percy this book just blows my mind! he is like the history teacher the world's been waiting for! he narrates the story of the gods with their sooo confusing lives with incredible flow and humour.its a must read for all PJO fans and everybody else. he gives you the 12 olympian gods along with hades and hestia and the titans in a all new refreshing way which makes easily remember and understand them. SO its just mythology and percy at their best!!!!!!

Informative but funny and very readable. Rick Riordan has a great talent of making even the dry aspects of mythology a whole lot more engaging even when it's not in novel form such as this particular book.

This book is an excellent antidepressant, 1000/10 would recommend if you're feeling down. Also, Percy Jackson is my favourite narrator of all time, and it was good to enjoy him telling stories where he isn't in imminent danger for once.

Ordine arrivato puntualmente. Sarà un regalo per il mio nipotino

No tengo palabras para decir lo mucho que me gustó este libro, lo tenía en mi wish list todo el año pero no creí que llegaría la oportunidad de comprarlo, mucho menos sin proponermelo, pero cuando vi que esta joya estaba con casi la mitad de su precio en oferta no dude en encargarlo, después de leerlos los libros de Percy Jackson no me cabe duda que si veo un libro con el encabezado de este personaje o del autor no dudare en comprarlo porque se que será genial, y si, acabo de recivirlo (1 día antes de lo esperado, por cierto) leí el primer capítulo y es PERFECTO, tanto la calidad del libro, con ilustraciones muy hermosas y papel con calidad de hojas de revista, la narrativa de Percy que te hace querer saber más sobre las familias disfuncionales de estos dioses, y el tamaño del libro, si eres fan de Percy o los libros de Rick Riordan en general tienes que agregar este libro a la colección + el de los héroes que son los siguientes en mi lista. Otro plus: el libro no puede venir en una mejor condición además del tiempo y forma que se entregaron, esta vez se lucieron Amazon.

I’m a huge Percy Jackson fan and this book is an amazing addition to the collection! Really enjoyed reading this!

眠くならずに最後まで楽しめました。 何回か読み返して神話の概要が定着したら、次は大人向けのに挑戦。

good book
