Rick Riordan

           I absolutly love Rick Riordan's books. He wrote my favorite seris "Percy Jackson and the Olympians", and he also wrote "The Kane Chronicles." His writing really inspires me. He makes his characters so well that I find myself in some characters such as Annabeth or even Carter. He really makes me think, "What would I do in a situation like this?" He lets me feel the character's emotion. In the book, "The Lost Hero" I felt the pain and sorrow of Annabeth desperately looking for her lost boyfriend, Percy. It made me feel so sad inside and I repeatedly thought about what I would do if my brother, or one of my good friends were missing. In the book, "The Last Olympian" when Percy beat Kronos at last, I literally jumped out of my chair and did a little dance! You see, an author like Rick Riordan is a true author. He makes me feel inside the story. He really helps me escape reality. I highly suggest Rick Riordan's books.

I reread the first three books in the Percy Jackson series this week.  Except for the first one, I didin't really enjoy it that much.  I like Riordan when I first read him, but rereadings are just not very good.  The first books in his series' are always the best.

Yeah, I totally agree. Rereading the books a second time start okay, then by the third time, you're like, "This is boring and I want the next one to come out already." Thankfully, he's not the only person in the world who writes good books.

Really? I can never seem to get enough of the Percy Jackson books. I read them all three times and the last one I read alound to my mom. And I'm always quoting them wih my older sister. I wish I owned them!!! Like I said, I never can seem to get enough.
