Ratings and reviews

I remeber reading the series when I was eight. I enjoyed it, loved the characters, and really made me think a lot especially for someone that young. Reading it now so many years later made me appreciate this series more. The references to Greek gods and philosophers, they heavy messages, and the story. You not only relate to the characters you are reading about but also laugh, cry, and sometimes root for them.

Great books, brilliantly written. The first books takes time to get started but once it does you won't be able to stop your self till you have read them all.

i am in 9th grade and read the series for an honors english assignment, i finished the whole series in about 3 days and i can honestly say i did not like it at all. this is a series meant for people under 10 years old. it repetitive in narration and for god's sake he is 11! should he be so mature and knowledgable? maybe it wouldnt bother me so much if he were 16 or something. my favorite character was probably ripred and even then i don't like him that much. basically i just disliked…everything. :/
