Reasons why I love Rick's writing, Reasons Why it can be much better.....

posted by mijmiD

Hey everyone, I'm MijmiD,but it's ok if you call me Mij. As you can see, I am a pretty big Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus fan, and I have a couple of things to say about those books....

Reasons why I love these books....

1.They're exciting and thrilling
2.Rick sure knows how to make a good couple!
3.They have death, one of the main ingredients to an excellent book
4.The descriptions are vivid
5.It's not like a Judy Moody book that has like, only 60 pages

Reasons why these books can be better....
1.The main character always has a heart of steal...not one tear dropped from their eye when a loved one died.
2.I think that it would be cool if one of the main characters were blind or deaf, like Frank or Hazel
3.The books aren't very inspiring, like Harry Potter, I think Rick needs a life lesson in his books....

Either way I love these books, but I just think it needs a little more.

HecateA Hi Mij, It was a good article and I agree with you! Except for two little factors... Percy did crack after the Titan war. But remember; he had to be a hero the whole time. He had to have a high head, he had to be proud and steel because there was always something he needed to do... And remember; Leo did lose it when Festus died, and Piper shed a tear about her dad. And as for life lessons... I think that they were there. You need to know your ennemy; Luke wasn't born evil, he had a harsh past. You can be a hero; Percy started out as an ADHD dyslexic kid that had nearly given up on himself and now... I think that that rags to riches story was pretty good. And you can't stop everything from happening, you can't hold grudges... And also remember; the Percy Jackson books aren't meant to be as deep or inspiring. Again; I really liked your article but... Also; Harry Potter is one in a freaking million :)

Annabeth Chase and the Olympians. The book from my point of view VI

posted by fencingrocks

I had to restrain myself form slapping him.

"Wait what?" I could tell I was making this kid confused.

I just rolled my eyes. and kept walking. How could I think he could be the one?

"What?" Percy said.

Oops, i guess I had said that out loud.

"What's your problem? All I know is that I killed some bull guy thin-' Percy started to say. I knew this wasn't going to be pretty.

"Don't talk like that! Do you know how many campers would die to have that chance?" I was starting to get annoyed. If theres one thing you should know about me is that I hate being wrong, and I especially hate it when people doubt...

Annabeth Chase and the Olympians. The book from my point of view V

posted by fencingrocks

Chiron was taking Percy on a tour of the camp. I knew this was going to take a while, judging on the fact that Percy was completely clueless. I looked up from my book. I saw Chiron and Percy come around the corner. Percy had the same blank expression most new demigods had. They were absorbing all the information because they don't know how to react. Percy asked Chiron a few questions, that Chiron quickly answered.

"Annabeth, I have archery class this afternoon. Will you show Percy his bunk?" Chiron said as he trotted around.

"Sure," I muttered. I wanted this to be fast so I could get back to...

Annabeth Chase and the Olympians. The book from my point of view

posted by fencingrocks

My name is Annabeth Chase. Before you get started reading I would just like to tell you that if at any point during this book you fell like this has happened to you, stop reading. Put the book down and forget you ever started reading. Anyways this is completely fantasy.

Well, I'm thirteen years old. I'm the daughter of the Greek goddess Athena, Goddess of wisdom. That makes me a half-blood. There is thousands of half-blood worldwide. Some lead normal lives and others train to become warriors at Camp Half-Blood on Long Island New York. I've been going to that camp since I was about 7 years old....

Spot rules (sorry, the name is an insult to creativity)

posted by HecateA

Hello people of the Rick Riordan spot!

Do not worry, I am trying to find an icon. I am doing my best to have one up, but my computer will not co-operate!

And yes, this banner isn`t great. I`m working on it.

Anyways, this spot needs rules so things are nice and nobody gets hurt.

1. Play nice. Common, nobody likes a bully and the fact people can`t see your face or don`t know your name doesn`t make it different. By "play nice", I mean no rude comments, no mean comments to anyone, no racism, the basics. Usually the rule "If your grandma would hit you when you say that, then don`t say it" applies.

Ex...
