Title: Percy Jackson The Demigod Files
Series: Percy Jackson and the Olympians - companion book
Author: Rick Riordan
Read Before: yes
My Comments: The second time reading this was a lot better, probably coz I knew what to expect. It was a disappointment the first time around as I had expected more, but The Demigod Files contains three short stories (well, one really short one, one not as short, and one that is a decent length). The Stolen Chariot is a so so story, it wasn't too interesting and is the worse of the three. The Bronze Dragon is more interesting, but still lacks the charm of the mainstream books. The Sword of Hades, while sounding cool and showing promising, is only an average read, it doesn't have enough ‘personality’, lacking that ‘touch’ that makes the Percy Jackson series so great. The extras aren’t that great either, with some that are just there to make up the extra pages (such as the crossword and word-find). The interviews were ok and had a few good tongue-in-cheek jokes, but unless you’re a die hard fan, I wouldn't recommend this.
Rating: 5.5/10
