I think your persuasive skills are muy good, yo. D; Especially the toned romance bit and Greek mythology. I'll have to look for it at my library sometime~!

Yay! \:D/ I hope you end up liking it as much as I do. Btw if you look for the movie trailer the actor playing Percy is pretty cute!

-didn't read in case of spoilers- :P How thick's each book? Is this for adult or younger audience?

Each book is around 400 pages like the Harry Potter books before they became 700 page behemoths. I think it's marketed towards 11-16 yr old boys but it doesn't feel like it's dumbed down or talking down to the readers and there's a lot to like for us adults (and girls). Also it's in first person pov but I didn't find that as annoying as I usually do.

...Wow. Is the series completed?

And I should just admit I read your review afterall. As much as I love HP, I'm not sure I can read through another ~dramatic series~. :| I'll keep this in mind though, when I go to the library. ;)

Yes it's completed! I'm not sure what you mean by dramatic? There are some twist and turns plot-wise but there doesn't seem to be any fantastic leaps of logic aside from the initial "the gods are real" one.
