This is an attempt to break off my writer’s slump.
Let’s talk about Percy Jackson. Is anyone familiar with this kid?
Just the average son of Poseidon. People think he’s the next Harry Potter.
The craze for “Percy Jackson & The Olympians” started in the office; as Reens excitedly described the movie trailer of The Lightning Thief (Book 1 of the series). I haven’t even heard of Percy Jackson until that moment, but everyone seemed to get excited and next thing we knew Jonna was buying off the books in no time at all. I also tried downloading e-books but thought better of it. Jonna willingly lent us the books and just like that we were hooked.
What I like about it is that it educates in a very easy-to-read way. Fast-paced with edgy characters; you’ll meet sons and daughters of Athena, Hephaestus, Hades, etc. along the way. If you’re a geek/nerd at heart, this one’s for you. If you’re a child at heart, this book is for you. It’s a simple book with simple lessons that makes it, in a way, more charming; it’s straight-forwardness in itself is its charm.
