So of course I’m taking the opportunity here to re-plug the book, which fantasy author Jody Lyn Nye called “full of laugh-out-loud moments, lashings of sly wit, moan-worthy puns, and a complex, fast-paced storyline.”

“I have not enjoyed a tongue-in-cheek comedy book this much in a long, long time.”

In which Luke experiences rapid deceleration trauma!

Finally I’ve gotten a chance to read more Percy Jackson! Aside from other things I’ve been busy with on the blog, and novel-writing, my laptop went on its own little adventure back to the ASUS repair center because it suddenly no longer believed it had a hard drive or operating system. It was ever so much fun! But enough of that, because we’ve got…

A climactic battle, an impossible-to-survive fall, and I feel silly for not having realized something long before now. But hey, watching me feel silly is part of the fun, isn’t it? So let’s take a look at chapter 17 for Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse…

I Put on a Few Million Extra Pounds

Out goes Mr. Moo, in comes Mr. Ladon.

So after my wanting to not go so long between chapters, I…went a long time between chapters. But it’s not my fault! I’ve been away at the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Conference for the past 4 days. Great conference. Exciting stuff that I can’t yet tell you about. But I didn’t have time to read Percy Jackson! But now, without further ado, let’s get to the 16th chapter in Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse…

We Meet the Dragon of Eternal Bad Breath

Michael Reads TTC-ch15

If he’s the evil twin, does that mean he doesn’t have a beard?

Harassing the homeless, underwater seal wrestling, and revelations that knock me sideways. Also, I threaten Percy with an eggplant. All this and a little more in part 15 of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse, which some may call…

I Wrestle Santa’s Evil Twin

This wound up being another stream-of-consciousness post, and it kind of just kept going, so it’s going to be more of a small river-of-consciousness post. Creek-of-consciousness? Yeah, let’s go with that. You can’t go wrong with alteration, after all. [Read more…]

It's time to read the dam chapter.

It’s time to read the dam chapter.

A strangely-named mystery girl, goddesses in elevators, and the return of sea-cattle! That’s right, it’s the dam fourteenth chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse, a.k.a…

I Have a Dam Problem

It’s bad luck to go into the thirteenth chapter when there’s a prophecy of loss waiting to be fulfilled…

So it turns out that Bianca’s older than she looks, we meet another goddess (woo-hoo!), and a colossal junkyard throw-down leads to another aspect of the prophecy being fulfilled. All this, plus I get nitpicky in the thirteenth chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse…

We Visit the Junkyard of the Gods

Riordan certainly is making a Herculean effort in writing The Titan's Curse!(I'm not Apollogizing for that pun. ...Or that one.)

(I’m not Apollogizing for that pun. …Or that one.)

The Apollo-train runs out of juice, the Erymanthian Boar shows up, and it’s not even the least of their problems. All this and a LOT of haiku on the twelfth installment of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse…

I Go Snowboarding With A Pig

Inspired by Apollo’s efforts earlier in this book, I have decided to review this chapter entirely in haiku! Think you can take it? Brace yourself, because ready or not, here we go!

Hey, those last two sentences were a haiku. Cool. 😉 [Read more…]
