Disney-Hyperion The Son of Neptune

the book was is perfect condition. no damages and no missing pages.

Apenas estoy leyendo este libro, recién ayer terminé The Lost Hero y aunque me dejó muy buen sabor de boca no era lo mismo sin Percy, a pesar de que me gusta mucho más que los libros estén narrados en tercera persona es algo triste que no se pueda leer el punto de vista de Percy Jackson, después de leer la primera saga quede fascinada con sus acciones y las razones de porque hacía las cosas, sin embargo esta muy bien, casi muero de alegría cuando vi que los primeros cuatro capítulos eran del punto de vista de Percy y al fin explicaba dónde había estado mientras estuvo desaparecido en la primera parte. Me encantó ver que el Percabeth es fuerte en estos libros <3 y la inclusión de los nuevos personajes, Frank y Hazel han sido muy gratos de leer, sin embargo; no cabe duda que extrañé demasiado a Percy, leí 100 páginas solo antes de irme a dormir. Adoro a Rick Riordan y sus libros, a pesar de estar destinados primeramente a un público infantil, la primera saga me gustó tanto que sin dudar compré The Heroes of Olympus en cuanto tuve el dinero suficiente. Su estilo es fluido y es genial que poco a poco vas aprendiendo la mitología, los dioses, los héroes, las leyendas y las criaturas que aparecen, eso sin que la trama se vuelva confusa o sea opacada la trama principal. Como breve despedida les digo a todos aquellos que quieran empezar a leer en inglés, las sagas de este autor son perfectas para empezar, los primeros libros que leí fueron los de Percy and the olympians, y fueron muy entretenidos y no me costó nada, y eso que comencé a leer en inglés desde enero, así que si, buena trama, educativos, adictivos y todo, es una excelente saga de un excelente autor. Más los libros que me faltan por leer :D

前作はパーシーがでていなくてさみしかったのですが、今回は相変わらずの正義感とヒップホップなスラングで大活躍です。 やっぱりパーシーが一番好きです。 パイパーはネイティヴアメリカンでレオはヒスパニック フランクは中国系、ヘイゼルは黒人と人種的な配慮が感じられました。 ヒーローが白人ばっかりでは多人種国家のアメリカでは政治的に正しくないのかもしれませんね。 子供向けの作品ということもあり簡単な英語で娯楽性が高くあっと言う間に読んでしまいました。 早く続きを読みたいです。

Rick Riordan is a genius. That's probably more fact than opinion and wow does that guy have a talent for writing clever, funny and compelling stories that are aimed at teens, and yet seem to be loved by adults just as much. For those Who haven't read any books by Mr Riordan I'd start at either Percy Jackson and Lightening Thief or The Red Pyramid as these are the first in both his other series of books and are generally a good place to begin. For those who have read the Percy Jackson series and the first in this one, then read on. TSoN joins back up with Percy who is being chased by monsters with no memory of why he's there, why he's being chased and wondering why the only thing he knows is that a girl Annabeth is important to him. Soon he ends up at a place called Camp Jupiter where he meets Frank and Hazel, two very troubled Demigods holding secrets and troubles of their own. Soon they find themselves on a quest to stop something that was put into motion a long time ago, well past the their usual territory and into lands even the gods have no control over, as the prophecy of the seven slowly unfolds. I loved this. In fact, I loved this more than The Lost Hero.. I think having Percy back (one of my favourite all time literary heroes) made this book extra incredible especially as that nearly everything Percy does seems to come out humorous in one way or another. If I were to be stuck in the worst moment of my life, I would like Percy with me, he'd probably make me laugh about it :) Having said that the humour element does not detract from the adventurous storyline with it's peril and terrifying Greek/Roman monsters. True, there are some monsters that will have you laughing (like the cereal monsters and the cupcake/muffin throwing goddess) but others will absolutely terrify the crap out of you. FYI I do not want to run into any Titans any time soon! The plot develops quickly and I found myself turning the pages very fast to find out how it would end and I was on the edge of my seat reading most of it. If a book can make me spend nearly the whole Sunday reading it without moving, then the author has done a fantastic job. Well done Mr Riordan you made a restless woman stay still for hours on end :) As usual though, it's the characters that steal the show and I loved Hazel, Frank and Percy though I did find it a little disconcerting jumping from point of view to another, at least at first anyway. What I admire most is that each of them had their 'weaknesses' and yet still managed to show incredible strength when placed in the most impossible situations and then come out the other side. None of the heroes in Rick's novels are perfect and I think that's something both kids and adults can resonate with; the idea that we can achieve anything we want no matter what mistakes we've made and however imperfect we are. As for the ending? Well it's epic and I'm dying for the next book. I don't want to wait :( I want to read it now! *stamps feet like a child* Anyway, full marks! Like I said, the guys a genius!

Percy's back!!!Awesome coverpage as usual (though why does Percy have green spots on his body?). Great story. One of the best in the series. 'This says,"Go to Alaska. Find Thanatos and free him. Come back by sundown on June twenty-fourth or die." 'Yes', Mars said. 'Is that not clear?' "Well, my lord... usualy prophescies are unclear. They're wrapped in riddles. They rhyme, and...' 'Yes?' (Mars takes another grenade off his belt) 'The prophecy is clear!' Octavian announced. 'A quest!' Percy is being chased by the two Gorgons, Medusa's immortal, kinda weird sisters. He has to go south, as instructed by Lupa, to find Camp Jupiter. Percy doesn't remember anything except the name "Annabeth". He finds two new best friends- Frank and Hazel- and a new quest- to free Thanatos/Death(yes with a capital 'd'). The trio together fight crops with diapers/cupid piranhas(as Hazel caled them), crowned snakes, the Amazons, an old blind guy in bath robes and a weed whacker (and save Ella), ogres, gryphons, the giant Alcyoneus, etc.They fight the giant Polybotes and save New Rome. After this they try to make peace between Camp Halfblood and Camp Jupiter which doesn't quite turn out as expected. As I said earlier one of the best books of the series. -- Kaviya
