Review
Praise for The Titan's Curse, and other books in the Percy Jackson series: 'Witty and inspired. Gripping, touching and deliciously satirical...This is most likely to succeed Rowling. Puffin is on to a winner' - Amanda Craig, The Times '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 'One of the books of the year ... vastly entertaining' - Independent 'Cool, mad and very funny!' - Flipside
