Oh Percy Jackson. All I can say right noew it u go u greek demigod u... woot woot. This book starts almost like book 1 started with our protagonist Percy in a state of amnesia. Thank the Gods he came still remember Annabeth though. He is told to go south to a camp. Camp Jupiter but he needs to survive the journey first. Once there the campers are a bit iffy about him not remembering anything,but he does find two friends Frank and Hazel who not mention have their own issues. This book has many new characters that I like and some that I just want to slap up across the head as percy said. It was very entertaining for all Percy fan this book is a must. Can't wait for book 2
this is one of the most beautiful and understated books that i've ever read that is, at the same time, so fiercely postmodern in its agenda and conception of itself. this is a wonderful demonstration of all the promise of the most avant-garde of innovations and literary self-awareness but without any of the clinical coldness that usually comes with the territory. a real achievement, especially from such a young author. possibly even more important than all this is the fact that he has gone a very long way toward completely recreating the idea of a "native american" artform. the native author writes about a native man who does not, due to the events of his life, identify with the native -- and thereby gets around almost all of the conflicts that have become the trite hallmarks of so much contemporary native artwork. the author gets to write about all the things that he wants to transmit about his culture, people and traditions without having to tread the same old ground of "identity" and "self-image". this allows a beautifully-written book about the greater topic of simply being human to resound with and be enriched by native themes in a very organic, believable way.
I liked this book better than Xenocide. It is strange how the characters in Card's books are always intelligent enough to solve any extreme problem that might arise. It makes you happy that everybody has a chance at living through the book but isn't very believable. If only we had xenobiologists like these folks then we would never die of any diseases.
These books are like a hot luxurious bath or a rainy day where I get to stay inside and read. I love them. (Deborah, you'll be happy to hear that she didn't try and poison anyone). Flavia and her trusty bicycle, Gladys, are at it again and the ten year old detective doesn't disappoint. A+
