I watched the finale of True Blood, if anyone is interested in chatting about that.
I also finished The Lightning Thief today, which I greatly enjoyed. I reminded me a lot of early Harry Potter (in a good way) and I enjoyed it enough to put a hold on the next volume. (I hope it gets darker as Percy gets older, like HP did.) I loved all the mythology, Percy was a great pov character (and I liked how his dyslexia was described), Annabeth was awesome, Grover was annoying, they treated Percy's mother like a character in her own right, and not just as The Mom. My one major complaint was that I could really tell it was written for 12-year-olds. (Grover, in particular, was a character would only exist and would only behave as he did in a children's book. By that I mean I found it ridiculously that he would have been given the task he was.) Also, I totally want Annabeth to get Cybernus as a pet at some point. That would be awesome.
