Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a retake on the ancient Greek myths, 21st century style. Rick Riordan has taken the old stories that we all love and has given it a modern twist. What people originally found as boring, dull and completely bonkers now interests them so much, that they want more.

Most people think that the Greek were nuts, believing in so many gods, giving them each something to rule over, however insignificant the matter. But Percy Jackson not only entertains but also informs how each god's rule can change the balance of the world we live in.

In these books, Percy Jackson, a demigod (Half god, half mortal) has been told that a prophecy had been issued some 70 years ago, which involved him. So Percy, along with his friends Annabeth, Grover, Thalia and the other campers at Camp Half-Blood are left with the task of defending Olympus against the evil Titan lord Kronos.

Greek lovers can read this to see their gods in a different perspective and those with no interest in Greek mythology, pick up the books and read!!

These books are a must-read. Recommended for all ages.


Rick Riordan has come out with a sort-of follow up to these books: Heroes of Olympus.

The first book is called The Lost Hero, where 3 new demi-gods are introduced, and we find out that the main protagonist Percy is missing.

Harry Potter and the goblet of fire: Book 4

In this fourth book, Harry is selected to take
part in the
Triwizard competition, against his wishes.
Here, the schools of Beauxbatons and
Durmstrang are introduced.

the exciting, gripping and thrilling fourth book
in the Harry Potter series increases the readers'
expectations and sets the bar higher for the next book.

Review 3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban


Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third book in the thrilling Harry Potter saga.

Harry is back to Hogwarts for his third year. New classes, teachers and a new adventure. A prisoner has escaped from Azkaban and he's behind Harry.

As always, this Harry Potter book live up to the set standards and sets higher ones! But, I always have the same views about the Harry Potter series. I LOVE them all!

Review 2: Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets

This is the second book in the Harry Potter series.

Harry is staying over at the Dursley's for summer and it's like living in hell. Thankfully, the Weasleys come to his rescue.

J.K. Rowling has done it again! This book is as good as the first.
Gripping, Exciting and Un-put-downable! Recommended to readers of all age!

Review 1: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone


I'm sure most of you must have read this book (or watched the movie).

It's Harry's 11th birthday, when a half-giant comes knocking on his door, with a surprise for Harry!

I loved this book. Its fun, thrilling and mysterious! It has everything a gook book needs! I recommend you to read it, if you haven't. And don't skip the book just because you have seen the movie! The book is better!

HEYALLO!
