I love the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. This book was just an okay addition to it though. As others have said, it’s basically just trying to get more money out of the series. It doesn’t really add much. It’s just a collection of stories, interviews, and skits. Some are clever, but many of them are kind of dull. The overall idea for the book is interesting. It’s basically a combination of the original welcome video made by Apollo and an updated collection made by current campers and staff members. Great idea. But the actual result is kind of dumb and boring at times. It’s also kind of weird listening to as an audiobook. Interviews are kind of confusing in this format. Although I did liked listening to Jesse Bernstein sing the musically sketches. Okay read for fans of Percy Jackson, but I wouldn’t say it’s a must-read. Just a decent companion book for die-hard fans who want to have the complete series. |
