Percy Jackson and the Olympians 5 Book Paperback Boxed Set (w/poster)

This is a thrilling series for readers. My older son read every Percy Jackson book he could get his hands on after reading this entire series. He loves Percy Jackson and prefers the books over tv series. He also learned a TON about greek mythology and could school his dad and I on anything we ever learned in school about the topics. These are masterfully written!

This series was very well read. Riordan's style is simple yet full of detail. I picked these books up as a former avid reader looking to rediscover my love of reading. Read the whole series in 6 days and my 5 year old is now saying he can't wait to be old enough to read the himself.

The Percy Jackson and the Olympians 5 Book Boxed Set is fantastic! The books are engaging, fun, and perfect for both young readers and longtime fans. The boxed set is well-made, and the included poster is a nice bonus. A great gift or addition to any fantasy book collection.

these books are definitely worth your money. They arrived in perfect condition and fit perfectly in my bookcase. I read these books a little while back and I just had to have them! when i bought them i was kinda expecting them to be a little beat up but when they got here they were not damaged at all! i'll say it again, definitely worth your money.

Love this series and book set version.

A great gift for people of all ages. Instead of mindless i pads, tikety tok vids, and graphic novels, this series motivates kids to get lost reading WORDS and following a story line.

Purchased the set to read along with my 10yr old. We enjoy reading before going to bed as part of our bedtime routine.

If you are a fan of the Percy Jackson saga or know someone that is, then this is perhaps the perfect set of books to own or give as a gift. I purchased the HARDCOVER set and the quality of each book in the set is fantastic!! What I love about the Percy Jackson saga is how the books are written. Despite being for the 9-12 age group I find them just as interesting at 30. Greek mythology has always been interesting to me and Rick Riordan brings it to life in spectacular fashion that could easily get kids hooked on the subject. Despite being fantasy in design, the books have a nice subtle educational aspect to them; teaching you a little about Greek Mythology throughout the adventure. Perfect for kids and adults alike I think. Without giving to much away, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is about a 12 year old boy named Percy Jackson who turns out to be a Demi-God (the son of Poseidon) who becomes aware of the hidden world of the Gods around him. Each book follows Percy as he gets older and ventures out on a variety of adventures. What is so great about these books is the style of writing Rick Riordan uses. The books have very little filler and get right to the point. This makes for constant happenings, and despite the biggest book being only 381 pages, there is more than enough action and adventure to go around. The books themselves, in the Hardcover set, are School & Library bound. This means the books are extra tough. The binding is exceptionally strong and the pages are also fairly durable compared to some other hardcover books I own. I decided not to get the treasure chest and instead got the standard case for the books. While it lacks the WOW factor the chest might give the packaging is still very solid. It is laminated plastic that has the cover art for "The Lightning Thief" on the front. It is sturdy as does the job of keeping the books safe and organized. OVERALL this is a great set for the Percy Jackson Fan. The books are made with quality and durability in mind and the print on the books is clear and crisp. This set would make for a perfect gift to a fan or add to a personal collection. Rick Riordan struck gold with the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books, creating a wonderful story for both kids and adults. This box set does it justice by giving each of the books the care and quality they deserve.

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.

Die Hauptperson in dieser Buchreihe ist ein Junge, Percy Jackson, der herausfindet, dass er ein Halbblut/Halbgott und ein Sohn Poseidons ist. Er kommt in ein "Ferien-Camp" wo er auf viele verschiedene andere Halbgötter trifft, auf Satyren, Nymphen, Zyklopen und andere mythische Wesen - und stürzt sich mit seinen neuen Freunden in aufregende Quests, um schließlich Olympia vorm Untergang zu retten. Man bekommt viele interessante Informationen über die alten griechischen Götter, die Halbgötter (Perseus, Herkules, ...), die Quests (Goldenes Fließ, Das Labyrinth, ... ) und die "Monster". Und wer sich dafür begeistert ist mit der Serie gut aufgehoben. Ich hab die Box vor nicht mal einer Woche geliefert bekommen und sie innerhalb von 5 Tagen durchgelesen. Das Englische liest sich flüssig und verständlich, und man versteht die griechische Mythology dahinter sehr gut, ohne erst das Wörterbuch zücken zu müssen. Ich persönlich würde die Serie gar nicht mit Harry Potter vergleichen wollen. Okay, man findet einige Parallelen, wie beispielsweise, dass es sich um einen 12Jährigen Jungen handelt, der nicht "normal" ist und sich von zu Hause weg begeben muss (Schule/Camp). Aber wenn man mal durch die Bücherläden schlendert, wird man wohl noch einige solcher Storys finden. Doch im Gegensatz zu HP handelt es sich hier nicht um #erfundene Magie", sondern um eine tolle Geschichte mit "wahrem mythologischem" Hintergrund. Und zu Schluss möchte ich noch loswerden, dass dieses Buch nicht nur für Kinder und Jugendliche lesenswert ist, sondern auch für Erwachsene, die sich für Fantasy, Mythologie und Harry-Potter-ähnliche-Romane begeistern.
