The third book in a great children's fantasy series that rivals the Harry Potter books, and in some ways is more fun. Percy Jackson, a half-blood demigod with a mortal mother and Poseidon for a father, is the subject of an ancient prophecy that says when he is 16 he will either save Olympus or aid in its destruction. This book continues the Titan Kronos' uprising of the Titans against the Olympian gods, and involves Atlas, Artemis, a couple of new half-bloods, and Annabeth's father. A fine enjoyable series that has a fair amount of mythology to teach, and one or two life lessons. What more could you ask for? ( )

This book was awesome!!!!

The SEA OF MONSTERS ended with a bang, with another child of the three gods emerging from the tree guarding Camp Half-Blood. Percy Jackson now has his hands full in THE TITAN'S CURSE, the third volume of the series.

When he answers an urgent call from his best friend, Grover, at a school in Maine, unexplainable things start happening. Grover has found two more half-bloods, who are siblings, but the assistant principal is a powerful monster in disguise. Grover will never get the half-bloods to camp without help. Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia set off for Maine to help Grover, but don't realize that they're walking into a trap.

Dr. Thorn, the assistant principal, has some tricks up his sleeve. When Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, arrives, things get out of hand. Dr. Thorn falls off a cliff with Annabeth. Artemis goes after her and everyone else returns to Camp Half-Blood. Here, they try to act as normal as possible, but two camper's dreams indicate severe trouble with both Artemis and Annabeth.

The Oracle speaks and five campers must find and bring back Artemis before the Winter Solstice. For the first time, Percy remains behind, but not by choice, and not for long. When Percy meets up with the group, the enemies start showing themselves--and the race to reach Artemis and Annabeth alive becomes more crucial. Can Percy save both them before the Winter Solstice?

THE TITAN'S CURSE leaves the reader hanging, waiting for several important questions to be answered in the final two books of the series. This fast-paced novel, along with the action, makes it a great series for fantasy lovers, reluctant readers, and anyone looking for a good story. ( )

The Titan's Curse was awsome. The book kept me reading and reading till the end and kept me guessing till the end.

The story begins with our hero, Percy, and friends get a call from their friend, Grover, about some new half-bloods and they have to get them safely to camp. As they are working on this misson, they run into a manticore and Artemis and her Hunters. As the misson comes to an end, Annabeth and Artemis becomes lost and Percy and his friends along with two hunters must set out to the west on a quest to find Annabeth, Artemis, and to find out what the monster the manicore was talking about and who the General is.

This book was just GREAT!!!! I loved it! I really think that Rick Riordan has an amazing way of writing books! When I started reading, I never wanted to stop!! Some parts were just such a shock, like you would've never guess what was going to happen!!! In this book I also think you get to learn more about all the main characters, like Annabeth, Thalia, Grover and Percy! The ending was just so unexpected!! But I don't wanna spoil it!!! ( )
