I get that graphic novels can often feel a lot more rushed than the books they're based on, and this is definitely true here. I think the graphic novel lost a lot of the charm I loved from Riordan's books (namely the humor, tbh), and I don't know if I'll be reading the rest of these. I really love Percy Jackson and I really enjoy graphic novels, so I'd thought this would be an easy, nostalgic 5-star read for me! It's also been a crazy long time since I've read the original series as well, so I thought the distance would mean I wouldn't be comparing the two too much. Obviously it will never beat the book, but it is a good addition to the world and for those hardcore fans who can't get enough of Camp Half-Blood.
It is a shorten version of the book, but it is fun and lighthearted and will make you have a good time.
They are filled with monsters, adventure and the perfect amount of comedy. It is the perfect story to get a kid into reading and falling in love with books. Percy Jackson is one of those stories that stick with you and you can pick at any moment and you'll have fun reading. So begins Percy Jackson's journey fighting angry gods and all kinds of mythical creatures. He travels to a camp filled with other demigods(sons of a god and a human) where he gets sent on a quest for Zeus' stolen lightning bolt. Percy Jackson thinks he's a normal 12 year old who has dyslexia and ADHD until he gets attacked by a teacher on a school trip and finds out he is the son of a god. Popsugar Reading Challenge 2017 - A book based on mythology. I can’t wait for Andrea to finish the other two so I can borrow them!! ) This was a much better representation than the movie. The characters looked how I pictured them and looked age-appropriate. I loved the artwork and thought they did a great job bringing the story to life. I love when “children’s books” show the harsher truth and reality of the world…even if it is done through a fantasy based theme.
But guess what- the world isn't sunshine and rainbows. What I really enjoyed the most was that all of the darker elements of the PJ series are brought to light. It was a quick read and a really neat interpretation. Our tastes are almost identical and honestly- is there anything better than talking books with friends?! No. The three of us read all the time and typically if one of us raves over something we all end up reading it. We all read and loved the Percy Jackson series. Then when Lindsay and I opened our gifts from Andrea we realized she bought them for us! Can’t tell we spend a lot of time together!!! Now, I had NO idea up to this point that these were a thing. Lindsay bought Andrea the first three graphic novels of the Percy Jackson series.
So on Christmas eve my two best friends and I exchanged gifts at work.
