johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 7675 comments The whole series is excellent :) Glad you enjoyed it, Moni! :D


Selma O. | 42 comments I loved it!

Since Greek mythology is my passion, I immediately fell in love with PJO, I discovered it after watching the movie, so I decided to read the books, I read the first and second book in English but then stopped. When I got the whole series in French and finished it very fast, almost a book a day. It was awesome!


message 5: by [deleted user] (new)

Greek Mythology is my passion too. I'm going to be a double major in college in Mythology and English.
Yeah...I've already got that all planned out.
It's very awesome, indeed. I love this series so much!! I read the first book in second grade.


Flore (florefritz) In second grade?! How old were you? Isn't that really young?
I read it when i was 12 (still am 12) but anyway i loved it!!


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

I read it in the summer of second grade and I'm twelve. :)


Flore (florefritz) O ok, so did you make this group?Because you seem to be in a lot of discussions. :D


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes, I did. :)


Flore (florefritz) Cool,so that explains! :)

By the way i'm pretty new on goodreads and i just found out about those giveaways. Did you ever do it?


Amity☺Currently-Awesome☺ | 238 comments this is a great book, so are all the others :)


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

Yep! Haha!

Oh, no. And I've had Goodreads for about four-five years.

I agree, Amity.

I checked it out on your profile xD It's awesome :)

Umm ... I don't usually reveal my age on the internet :'( Sorry. Nothing personal, you understand. Just safety reasons ^^


Ciara  | 144 comments I'm currently reading this, and currently enjoying it! I've seen the movie and it is VERY different to the book!


GlitchObsession-Eridan's Matesprit (DontlaughIknowwhereyoulive) IKR?!? They totally messed it up! Same thing with Eragon. It's a whole other plot! I'm glad they kept to the story line on HP. If they didn't, I would flip!


Mayomouse  (mayomouse) | 612 comments Johanna...TTLY kno what you mean!


Mayomouse  (mayomouse) | 612 comments I completely agree with...Obsession? Haha. Eragon was a great book but the movie completely…let's keep it simple…MESSED IT UP!

:) Thanks for understanding :)


Mayomouse  (mayomouse) | 612 comments Anytime...:)


Ciara  | 144 comments Mm. I'm really enjoying the book, and there are some major differences between the movie and it.
~ Luke's age
~ Percy's age
~ Annabeth's appearance


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

Everybody's age is off. :( It's really sad, but that's Hollywood for you. It'd be hard to market a movie about twelve year olds. :(


Ciara  | 144 comments Yeah, I guess. Thankfully, though, the movie captures most of the most important moments and captures the whole concept well, so those bits are fine :)


Flore (florefritz) hey Mayomouse or whoever else read eragon,
i thought about reading it not long ago but i hadn't really heard about it before. What is it actually about?

Eragon. It's about a boy who finds a dragon (egg, actually). Read the description on the link ^.


message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

Eragon, the book, isn't all that good, but the rest of the series is brilliant.

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 7675 comments My friend loves it. Have you read the entire series, Cat?


Flore (florefritz) Thanks Johanna and Cat! (eragon)
I didn't watch the movie yet but i might read the book soon. :D


Mayomouse  (mayomouse) | 612 comments I thought the first book was the best but then after that the second and third book lost me because of all those details about battle and scars and all that...but I still think you should read it! :)

Not yet ;_; My family's pretty much all read them, lol, and my friends, and it's on my to-read list, but I haven't read it yet :)


message 39: by [deleted user] (new)

I've read the second one.

And not the first? O_o


Selma O. | 42 comments I liked Eragon but I only read the first book, my brother spoiled me! So I didn't read the second book. -_-

And the movie was okay.

Nice.


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

@ Johanna, I read bits and pieces but my brother and mother spoiled everything anyway so I just saw the movie-which, I know, is bad.


Ciara  | 144 comments I haven't yet read Eragon, but I plan to once I've finished Percy Jackson. I have seen the movie with my mother (who has read the books) and it was fine. I assume the book was much better, because they usually are compared to their movies. :)
