I finally got to read Red Pyramid. I didn’t reserve it at the library because Liz owned it in hardback and promised me that I could read it when she finished. Before I had a chance, she loaned it to a teacher (at the end of last school year) and the teacher did not finish it before school was over. So, I had to wait until school started and Liz brought it back. That was a long, long wait.
And it was good but I didn’t like it as much as the Percy Jackson books. TW says that’s because I’d just recently finished the last book in that series, so the characters were all fresh in my mind. That might be true. Or maybe I just don’t like the Egyptian Gods all that much? Or the Godlings either. I think it’s Carter. I just don’t particularly like him very much. And I don’t particularly like Carter and Sadie together. Or maybe I don’t like characters who eat flamingos. I don’t know. We’ll see when I read the next book… spring of 2011. I can wait.
I bet it’s that you don’t like books where characters eat flamingos.
I’ve seen a lot of people who didn’t like either the Egyptian gods or the alternating narrators.
