Roman camp, and which demigods are of the Greek camp. I had to keep onĬhecking the previous books to refresh my memories on which demigods are of the Even worse – I actually forgot who the characters were. Protagonists, which makes it extremely confusing for the reader, to say the Riordan has to keep on switching between the point-of-views of all seven In this book, however, there are seven protagonists in total, and The previous two books of this series, there were only three main characters inĮach, Piper, Leo and Jason in the first book, and Percy, Hazel and Frank in the In the previous series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the storyįocused mainly on Percy, and, occasionally, on Annabeth as the female lead. One flaw, however, is that there are far too many main characters in This ending is more than enough for us to anticipate the next Note, focusing on the determination of the remaining demigods to get theirįriends back. Nevertheless, Riordan managed to end the book on a hopeful Really touched me, however, was how Percy promises Annabeth that they wouldn’tīe separated – readers of the previous books will know that they were separatedįor nearly eight months, during which they had no idea whether the other wasĪlive – hence this promise is extremely touching, especially since this is theĬouple we are most invested in, as we have been reading about them since the Overcomes her challenges against Arachne – the maiden who excelled in weavingĪnd was turned into a spider by Athena for her arrogance in her skill – whenĪll of a sudden, she and Percy literally get dragged back into hell. It was sufficiently shocking – we have just read how Annabeth The remaining demigods swearing that they will find the Doors of Death and save Percy and Annabeth being dragged into Tartarus (Hell in Greek mythology), and Our inaugural book review will be The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan:Īnother thing I enjoyed is the cliffhanger ending that Riordan wrote: Our main aim is to give parents an idea of what type of books are available to them and their children. Parents could of course opt to buy the books from Popular and most of the books that we review would be available from the library so if parents do not want to purchase the books, they could always borrow or reserve the book from the library. Our reviews will be balanced we will not write rave reviews just to entice parents to purchase the books. These are affiliate links and this blog would earn a fraction of the price of any book purchased. Along with the review we would also be putting up links that allow parents to purchase the reviewed book from Amazon. Hence, once a week, we would be putting out a book review.
That means that after you put the book down, you should not only remember the main gist of what you have read but also also the words or phrases that you don't quite understand and then go and look them up in the dictionary or google them.Īnother question that parents ask very frequently is what type of books they should borrow or purchase for their children. But do make sure that you read with concentration. You don't have to read one book a day, just 20-30 minutes a day would be enough. But you know what? If improving your English is really important to you, then you would make sure you squeeze time out from your tight schedule to read. However, it is a sad fact of life that many pupils in Singapore do not have the luxury of time to read. Reading is truly a very effective way of improving one's English, or any language for that matter.
The answer is simple but difficult to put into practice. Parents are always asking what they can do to help their children improve their English.
