Hero's of Olympus Book Series

Now, I am sure that we all have heard of the Percy Jackson books. I am sure we have all thought about how cool it would be to be a child of the gods. To know how to fight, have special powers, and get treated with praise. But honestly, I don’t think that it is all it’s cracked up to be.

            I mean, I am just sitting there reading about how Percy and Annabeth are in the underworld and all the other demigods are fighting off a bunch of problems. I keep thinking this would be one of those cool video game scenarios, not real life. It would be fun to try it out and keep getting unlimited do-overs. Then again, I guess there is one character that got her own personal do-over, Hazel. She was, in a sense, brought back from the dead to help out on this quest. But I still would not wish that my life was like hers or any other of the demigods because they have to deal with some pretty hard stuff. For example, in the end of The Mark of Athena, Percy was faced with a really difficult decision. He could either let Annabeth fall to her doom or go with her and pray that he can get both of them out of the underworld.

            I guess what I am trying to say is that I feel bad for them. But, luckily, it is just a book. It is a really good book series that is like one of those commercial products, “fun to play with not to eat” or in this case, “fun to read it not to live it”
