Read this one on Kindle in November 2011. Great read, but ultimately formulaic. Riordan engages his readers, but the interactions between the characters become trite at times. I continue reading for the stories that he writes, but the characters leave me wanting more.
Battle scenes and action are purely driven for movies, it seems, because the hurt that is doled out is light-hearted at best. Chronicles had more death and destruction and therefore is the ultimate in reality writing for the young adult.
