The Red Pyramid - your views and thoughts - SPOILER ALERT!

My library is getting one, already ordered.

Sorry for the double post but I have an announcement to make:



For week 5 TRP has moved back up to #1:)

However for week 152 PJO has been bumped down to #2 by twilight due to the new movie coming up.



(P.S.: Tell everyone and yourself to stop buying twilight so PJO can spen week 156(3 years) at #1.....)

Another post:


For week 6!!!! TRP is at #1.

For week 153 PJO is still at #2, below twilight.

(Did anyone tell people to stop buying twilight?)

I wish everyone would stop buying Twilight.

Here's a review published by the Washington Post:


Rick Riordan catapulted from Edgar-winning detective fiction to international renown with his tween series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." His new series, "The Kane Chronicles," swaps the bickering, boisterous Greek pantheon for the equally intriguing gods of ancient Egypt. The Red Pyramid (Disney Hyperion, $17.99; ages 9-12) begins with a literal bang in the British Museum. Kane siblings Carter, 14, and Sadie, 12, watch in horror as explosive forces imprison their Egyptologist father in a golden coffin. The two are soon on the run from London to Cairo to Washington, D.C., trying to piece together clues to aid Dad's rescue. The pace never flags as the narrative cuts between cautious Carter and intrepid Sadie. Riordan knows what kids like and delivers it well, including action-packed scenes involving a key obelisk, the Washington Monument.

It's at the bottom of the article on the site.

awesome! i am glad it is getting good reveiws! i absolutly loved this book! it was much more complex and complicated than the PJo series, but it was still great!
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i thought it was sad that Sadie and Carter couldn't have their father at the end, but it was really cool how their parents sacraficed themselves to save everything. haha, and Khufu is awesome

SPOILER ALERT

i liked it how at the end, they get to meet their parents, i think it was nice for rick to add that part in

I didn't like it that much, cause it seemed too traditional big happy family reunion ending.

(It's still below twilight, have any opf you listened to me?)

New twilight movie.

Because of the movie New moon the twilight books are really selling so PJO is #2 behind them. But it is great that TRP continues to stay at #1.

As a official twilight hater, I am really disappointed that a book about a 100+ year old dude who likes a 20 year old girl is above Percy. I suspect brainwash

I am no vampire fan for sure. I am grossed out by the whole goth and vampirish look and I mean what future does a live girl have with a dead - living dead guy. PLeeease!

Sorry to go off topic. And yet it is obvious that Sadie has the hots for the god of the dead, Anubis, so go figure.

I think trp and tlt are both better then twilight.

At this point, pretty much ANYTHING is better than Twilight.
