Funny and fast-paced . . . Percy is a hero that every kid will want to emulate (Sunday Express)
Funny . . . very exciting . . . but it's the storytelling that will get readers hooked. After all, this is the stuff of legends (Guardian)

This is a children's fantasy series that my 10 yr old grandson got hooked on. He gave me the book to look over and I started to read it and it got my interest and I kept reading and finished the book and loved it ! I believe there have been two of the books done into movies that were on television. They were very well done and the actors and actresses were excellent. The series is about a young boy who finds that he is part human and part of one of the Greek gods, so he is a Demigod. He becomes aware of his powers and the stories unfold with anticipation for the reader. I found this series interesting, just as my grandson has. Thanks to Amazon, it came in perfect condition and quickly. Great series, and great Amazon !
Prologue and Disclaimer: Having read books 1-4 of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, with the final book 5 (The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Book 5), which I just received and am reading now, YAY!) on order, and being a completist at heart (yes, I also bought the Tales of Beetle the bard (both versions! The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Collector's Edition (Offered Exclusively by Amazon) and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition) and the Artemis Fowl Files Artemis Fowl Files, The, I knew that I had to get this companion book for the Percy Jackson series as well. And since I also bought the other short story books, I knew going in that I'd be paying a premium for a hardcover book with less than 200 pages. But hey, it costs about as much as a ticket for a 2 hour movie, and lasted at least that long, so I'm not complaining!
So, the book comes with 3 short stories, a few 2-3 page "interviews", 8 color portraits of characters from the book, a crossword puzzle and a wordsearch puzzle, plus about one-third of chapter 1 of book 5.
Timelinewise, all 3 short stories occur between books 4 and 5, based on the age and knowledge of the characters involved.
The first story involves Clarissa and Percy (a unique pairing, compared with the other books). I liked the dynamic between the two, but wasn't crazy about the way Clarissa seemed so depending on Percy, instead of being able to carry her own weight more.
The second story was with Beckendorf (of Camp Haephestus) and Percy, later joined by Annabeth and Selina of Camp Aphrodite. Without going into too much detail, I wasn't crazy about the plausiblity of this story. I know, it's a fantasy book about greek gods, but the story had one of the characters reattach a mechanical head that was chewed off, back onto it's body, without tools, and get the robot working again, all in about an hour and a half.
The third short story was the best of the bunch, and seemed almost like a missing chapter of book 4, since the repercussions of that story may affect book 5 (I haven't finished book 5 yet, so I don't know if it will). The story revolves around Percy, Thalia, and Nico, so if you know about those characters, you definitely know the significance of those three to the storyline.
The interviews, color portraits, and puzzles were filler material, interesting to those who look for that stuff.
The excerpt of book 5, namely, the part of Chapter 1, was short but tantalizingly informative. A budding potential romance, a prelude to war, and a bag of greek fire, what more can you wish for?
I still have to say something about the price point for this book. The MSRP of this is a bit steep, even for a hardcover, when you compare it to the other companion/short story books (namely the Tales of Beetle the Bard and Artemis Fowl Files as comparison).
Overall, 4 out of 5 stars. I recommend buying it if you are a completist and need to read it before reading book 5 (like me).
UPDATE: 05/11/09
I've since read book 5 (The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Book 5)), and can unfortunately confirm that the final book makes no reference to the 3 short stories in this book. It's as if these short stories never existed. A shame, really, makes me have to think of the short stories as "what if" scenarios, as opposed to including them into the whole Percy Jackson timeline.
All the quests are in the middle of the Battle of the Labyrinth and The last Olympian. The first quest stars Percy Jackson, Clarisse la Rue, Deimos, Phobos, fish, arrow shooting birds, and angry crazed sea mammals. The second stars Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Charles Beckendorf, Selina Beaureguard, a bronze dragon, giant ants, and two children of Athena other than Annabeth. The third stars Percy Jackson, Thaila Grace, Nico di Angelo, Ethan Nakamura, Ipaetus, Pheresphone, Hades, snarling demons, and a mind erasing river. All of these quests have war, action, and adventure in it. I would recommend this who like hilarious and short stories, along with the action and war. I rated it a four because it was really good but there were some inconsistencies in the same series.
