Huge Eater

Percy likes to eat, big time. That sounds like me I love to eat and I'll practically eat anything too. Pery's favorite food in the book has to be pizza, he its it pretty much everywhere in th ship in Rome, he seriously loves it. My favorite food is probably my moms chicken and noodles, its like chicken noodle soup except its in a pan and has breadcrumbs all over it. It tastes great! You can connect to your story with just about anything.

Being Scared

In the book one of the main charecters Annabeth is petrified of spiders. Her fear started when she was really little and while she was going to sleep, wave after wave of spiders kept biting her. When she told her parents they did not belive her and told her to go back to bed. This is one of the reasons she ran away from home. The way I can relate this to me is that i have a small fear of heights, well not really heights just being strapped into a harness and the harness snapping. Like for example when I go rock climbing and I'm really high up, I'm afraid my harness is going to snap and I'm going to fall. I had to get over this fear really quick when I ziplined over the Miami river, which was a really cool experience. This is just one of the many ways I can connect to my book.

Annabeth Characterization

Annabeth is a very smart girl a daughter of the wisdom godess Athena. But her mother is very confused right now because her personality is split, she practically has schizophrenia. Her mother gave her a very difficult quest, practically a suicide mission. This mission takes place in Rome and she is getting back something very important for her mother, a relic of her that the Romans stole. Thats why her mother is confused she is split between Greek and Roman cultures. The mission is a suicide mission because it is centred around her worst fear spiders. I have no dought she will get through it and reclaim the statue.

The Mark of Athena Review

So far the book is great jam packed with the thing I love action, action, action! If thats what your looking for this books for you. It has a little bit of romance but not enough for it to be all mushy gushy. Has a great story line they are searching for there friend who was captured by giants. I would recomend this book to pretty much anybody it is really good! Anybody could just pick it up and read it and not want to put it down. There is plenty of suspence it is constantly keeping you on the edge of your seat. i would give this book a 10 out of 10 it's just that good.

The Mark of Athena Setting Update

The setting in The Mark of Athena is very intresting and cool, It takes place on a massive ship called the Argo 2. Like I said before it is a big ship it has stables for pegasus, cabins for all the demigods and even one for Coach Hedge, a huge engine room ( They need to keep that thing in the sky somehow, yeah I said sky), a giant mess hall that can make you pretty much any food you could want, and a huge deck that has the most complex steering wheel you will ever see, it even has a Wii remote on it! That probably isn't even everything on the ship thats only the stuff i've read about so far. So as you can see it has pretty much everything a questing demigod could want, even a a shroud around the ship to protect there aura from monsters. This is where they will spend most of there time in the story, if there not off killing monsters there on the ship relaxing and resting. They are going to rome which is a very dangerous place for demigods, they will definitly need the ship. This is one really cool setting.
