MAIN 5 PERCY JACKSON BOOKS I BOUGHT THESE LAST YEAR AND I HAVE READ THEM ALL MANY TIMES, I LOVE THIS SERIES AND WOULD RECOMMEND TO EAGER READERS AND THOSE WHO LOVE ADVENTURE AND GREEK MYTHOLOGY!!

Grabdson was very happy with this special boxset. Already had the other one but wanted this set.

Bit confused as I spent the extra to get the hard cover books, only for it to be paperback in a case. I can only blame myself for not doing enough research and trusting this website, but it should probably still be listed as a different addition paperback at least? I love this book series way too much to consider giving it a lower rating. Just sad that I could have saved money. On the plus side, the covers are beautiful!

I just finished reading this series, I first got the first book in a charty shop, partly on a wim after seeing the movie and found it to be enjoyable tale of a boy named Percy who finds his life changed when he discovers he the son of one of the top three Greek gods. The top three gods, supposedly made a vow not to have any more demi-god children aka half human/half god but they aren't exactly good at keeping promises. Sure in some ways its a little like Harry Potter with the hero discoving his heirtage, where's Harry Potter books tend to get dark and moody as the series goes on, the Percy Jackson books thou getting dark, have plenty of humour to break the suspence of the story and make you laugh out loud. The books themselves have very nice covers and come packed in a neat box, which saved me some trouble in looking at the various versions of the books, and deciding what state to buy them in (AKA pre-owned, bah, bah, bah)! If you liked the Harry Potter books then I can't recommend this series more, because it's fun to read and takes a lot of the old Greek myths and gives them a modern make over as a lot of the old monsters and stuff can't truly die, they just reform, evenly. The bulk of the books story isn't happening in Grease but the US, mostly around the big famous cities like New York or LA! So what you waiting for, get a set of these books they are hard to put down and fully engrossing stories of young teenage Demi-gods and their adventures/quests!

I've read the entire series before several times and really enjoy these books. After watching the new series on Disney+ I was impressed how closely they mirrored the books and wanted to read them again, but this time in paper format. The set arrived wrapped in clear plastic and packaged in an appropriately sized boxed, so the books are all in perfect condition. I'm very happy with this purchase!

My Son is a big Harry Potter fan so after reading those about 3 times over I first spotted some Rick Riordan Books in a charity shop and thought he might enjoy them. Enjoy them was an understatement, I would catch him reading till late at night. so for his 10th Birthday at the end of Last month(july) I bought him this box set and he loved it. Currently he's on the last book so I think another box set is required. highly recommended for imaginative book worms 😁

I bought this for Christmas and it arrived in good condition, I am a slow reader so yes it did take me 5 months to read the entire series. The story is amazing and it’s good for middle schoolers I would definitely recommend buying this book set it’s one of the first books that got me into my obsession with reading. I know it’s sorta late to write this even though I finished it in April but I don’t know what to do right now so I’m just writing this review.

Die Hauptperson in dieser Buchreihe ist ein Junge, Percy Jackson, der herausfindet, dass er ein Halbblut/Halbgott und ein Sohn Poseidons ist. Er kommt in ein "Ferien-Camp" wo er auf viele verschiedene andere Halbgötter trifft, auf Satyren, Nymphen, Zyklopen und andere mythische Wesen - und stürzt sich mit seinen neuen Freunden in aufregende Quests, um schließlich Olympia vorm Untergang zu retten. Man bekommt viele interessante Informationen über die alten griechischen Götter, die Halbgötter (Perseus, Herkules, ...), die Quests (Goldenes Fließ, Das Labyrinth, ... ) und die "Monster". Und wer sich dafür begeistert ist mit der Serie gut aufgehoben. Ich hab die Box vor nicht mal einer Woche geliefert bekommen und sie innerhalb von 5 Tagen durchgelesen. Das Englische liest sich flüssig und verständlich, und man versteht die griechische Mythology dahinter sehr gut, ohne erst das Wörterbuch zücken zu müssen. Ich persönlich würde die Serie gar nicht mit Harry Potter vergleichen wollen. Okay, man findet einige Parallelen, wie beispielsweise, dass es sich um einen 12Jährigen Jungen handelt, der nicht "normal" ist und sich von zu Hause weg begeben muss (Schule/Camp). Aber wenn man mal durch die Bücherläden schlendert, wird man wohl noch einige solcher Storys finden. Doch im Gegensatz zu HP handelt es sich hier nicht um #erfundene Magie", sondern um eine tolle Geschichte mit "wahrem mythologischem" Hintergrund. Und zu Schluss möchte ich noch loswerden, dass dieses Buch nicht nur für Kinder und Jugendliche lesenswert ist, sondern auch für Erwachsene, die sich für Fantasy, Mythologie und Harry-Potter-ähnliche-Romane begeistern.

i love this series, read them you wont regret it
