I’ve read a couple of duds lately but this is probably the worst fantasy book I have ever read. Don’t waste your time on this book! The only reason I gave it one star, is because amazon won’t let you give it none. It is terrible on several different levels. It is poorly written. The dialogue made me laugh out loud several times. The book basically consists of a boring story, peppered intermittently with moments of suspense. You waste your time in reading this.
Rating: 1 / 5
Like many readers, I bought this book and the others with high expectations based on the overwhelming claims it was so good. I hope to save others from my fate. Don’t believe the children’s reviews here that call this book a masterpiece or a classic. This book is terrible! Where are the honest reviews of this book?
Riordin’s writing is dreadful, at times it seems English is his second language. His reuses the same or similar phrases. He uses many unnecessary modifiers. He adds extraneous words for filler. The dialogue rings false almost in its entirety. To make matters worse, the story is derivative and cliche. Anyone who’s read about Hercules and Greek myths knows where the story was taken from, and the concept has been done to death already.
I know it’s a matter of taste, but nearly anything would be better than this.

What the heck is going on? My son and daughter never got past the first book. I’ve just re-read all the reviews, now that I’ve finished the first three books for myself, and I’m completely mystified by all the glowing reports. How can anyone compare this thing to Harry Potter? Where are the truthful reviews?
As a long-time fantasy and sci-fi fan, this just didn’t grab me. Riordan’s writing is sloppy. He steals from Greek mythology and thinks readers are too stupid to realize he’s dressed up Hercules and the heroes in sheep’s clothing.
It is a chore to get through. The characters flat and unengaging. The events unfold more as after-the-fact. There’s no sitting on edge of your seat awaiting the next revelation. It’s more like riding in the back seat asking “are we there yet?”
Maybe it is more appealing to very young readers who have never read anything else but my kids and I who have read many fantasy novels couldn’t have been more disappointed.
The too few negative reviews are accurate. Read ALL the reviews before buying a Riordan book.
