Penguin Books Ltd Percy Jackson: 5 Book Collection

Great books, my boy loves them but saw them in the works the next day for a tenner🤦🏻‍♂️

I just finished reading this series, I first got the first book in a charty shop, partly on a wim after seeing the movie and found it to be enjoyable tale of a boy named Percy who finds his life changed when he discovers he the son of one of the top three Greek gods. The top three gods, supposedly made a vow not to have any more demi-god children aka half human/half god but they aren't exactly good at keeping promises. Sure in some ways its a little like Harry Potter with the hero discoving his heirtage, where's Harry Potter books tend to get dark and moody as the series goes on, the Percy Jackson books thou getting dark, have plenty of humour to break the suspence of the story and make you laugh out loud. The books themselves have very nice covers and come packed in a neat box, which saved me some trouble in looking at the various versions of the books, and deciding what state to buy them in (AKA pre-owned, bah, bah, bah)! If you liked the Harry Potter books then I can't recommend this series more, because it's fun to read and takes a lot of the old Greek myths and gives them a modern make over as a lot of the old monsters and stuff can't truly die, they just reform, evenly. The bulk of the books story isn't happening in Grease but the US, mostly around the big famous cities like New York or LA! So what you waiting for, get a set of these books they are hard to put down and fully engrossing stories of young teenage Demi-gods and their adventures/quests!

I've read the entire series before several times and really enjoy these books. After watching the new series on Disney+ I was impressed how closely they mirrored the books and wanted to read them again, but this time in paper format. The set arrived wrapped in clear plastic and packaged in an appropriately sized boxed, so the books are all in perfect condition. I'm very happy with this purchase!

MAIN 5 PERCY JACKSON BOOKS I BOUGHT THESE LAST YEAR AND I HAVE READ THEM ALL MANY TIMES, I LOVE THIS SERIES AND WOULD RECOMMEND TO EAGER READERS AND THOSE WHO LOVE ADVENTURE AND GREEK MYTHOLOGY!!

Bit confused as I spent the extra to get the hard cover books, only for it to be paperback in a case. I can only blame myself for not doing enough research and trusting this website, but it should probably still be listed as a different addition paperback at least? I love this book series way too much to consider giving it a lower rating. Just sad that I could have saved money. On the plus side, the covers are beautiful!

Grabdson was very happy with this special boxset. Already had the other one but wanted this set.

Excellent books, I struggle to get my 11 year old son to read stories as he finds it hard ( even Harry Potter books) He reads me a chapter a night and really takes in what he reads and has nearly read the first book!! He even tells me what's happened in the story so I can tell he enjoys it.

Okay so; I will be reviewing the books as a story and the physical look and quality of the paperbacks. Percy Jackson starts off being a "regular" twelve year old human boy, except he's not, he's a half-blood, half human, half god. We watch Percy grow up into an amazing hero, fight monsters and much more. The books are easy to read, fast paced and enjoyable. Now, the physical copies: I loved the covers, and if you line them up in order, they connect!! A but dented but truly gorgeous, small and cute, I loved carrying them around.

Este lote de libros es ideal para fans del personaje. Tiene muy buen precio para la cantidad de libros que trae. Lo he comprado para un regalo y estoy muy satisfecha.

I was apprehensive about buying these copies from the reviews as alot had damage to the packaging but these came in great condition, good shipping (Australia) The books are all different colours when you remove the dust covers and I just adore them
