Summary

Brought to you by Puffin.

Coming soon to Disney+!

Half boy. Half God. ALL Hero.

I was just a normal kid, I went to school (got expelled a lot, but that wasn't my fault), played sports and hung out with my best friend.

Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.

Now, I spend my time at Camp Half Blood, battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive.

And now that Zeus thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt, staying alive is going to be even harder....

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PERCY JACKSON:

  • Monsters
  • Greek Gods
  • Laughs (and terrified screams)

Rick Riordan has now sold an incredible 60 million copies of his books worldwide.

Ok performance

Great story but performances not as good (voice is very American)not saying that’s a bad thing but I’m English so it just sounds slightly unusual as I’m not used to it as much as an English accent

Great book poor performance

Having listened to Stephen Fry read Harry Potter and David Tennant read How to Train your Dragon we were really disappointed with the reader. But the story is fab so it was still a great listen.

Great but the narrator says the gods names wrong

This book is amazing I love it but the narrator says gods names wrong except for Zeus and Hades and I can’t listen to Luke’s voice. Otherwise I love the story and I’m really impressed by Rick Riordan’s work it’s generally great if they do the audiobook again without Jesse Bernstein I would listen to it. (Chose Steven fry)
