A collection of stories from Greek mythology, told in the voice of the well known and well loved character, Percy Jackson. While reading mythology on your own is fine, there is just something so charming about how Rick Riordan writes Percy Jackson’s character. Percy finds a way to make anything interesting. The way Percy tells the Greek mythology stories and his commentary throughout the book is very enjoyable to read. Definitely worth reading. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Who could tell the origin stories of the gods of Olympus better than a modern-day demigod? Percy Jackson provides an insider's view with plenty of 'tude in this illustrated collection. "A publisher in New York asked me to write down what I know about the Greek gods, and I was like, Can we do this anonymously? Because I don't need the Olympians mad at me again. But if it helps you to know your Greek gods, and survive an encounter with them if they ever show up in your face, then I guess writing all this down will be my good deed for the week." So begins Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, in which the son of Poseidon adds his own magicâ??and sarcastic asidesâ??to the classics. He explains how the world was created, then gives readers his personal take on a who's who of ancients, from Apollo to Zeus. Percy does not hold back. "If you like horror shows, blood baths, lying, stealing, backstabbing, and cannibalism, then read on, because it definitely was a Golden Age for all that." Dramatic full-color illustrations throughout by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco make this volumeâ??a must for home, library, and classroom shelvesâ??as stunning as it is entertaining.

This was better than I expected. It gives a pretty reasonable overview of the Greek mythology (the part more directly involving the gods, since a forthcoming book will cover the great heroes). Percy's teenage snark makes it very accessible and entertaining to read. It will help if you are familiar with Riordan's books, so that you know who Percy is, but it is not absolutely required. The myths are not watered down, you get the sex and violence of the original stories, but Percy's wit smooths it over with non-explicit language.
Do not expect any poetry or literary beauty here. However, while the Greek mythology can sometimes become a bit repetitive, in Percy's voice it never becomes boring. It is extremely easy to read and an excellent choice for young readers or even older ones who are not necessarily attracted to the subject. ( )
