I just re-read this (and will go on with the series). You ask why? Because I was seeing the 2nd movie the other day, and damn it, but I couldn't remember anything. I hear thats a pretty common issue with us bookworms. However, I remember being enchanted by the series and reading it in a week or so. So I decided to re-read them and try to remember it better.

So, on to the review. Its a pretty good book, considering the absurdness of its core-concept; and given that, it is handled pretty well. A lot of the characters are straight caricatures of their mythological personalities, and this is carried over to the demi-gods themselves. As a result, a lot of the book becomes predictable given you know what everyone is good at at even given moment.

The only character that shows some self-belief and strays from their "God-given"/inherited personality is Luke, and he doesn't have enough scenes in the book anyway. But all things considered, its still a good book. I'd give it 3.5 stars after my re-read.
