He wanted to continue reading the rest of the series but ran into a huge problem. Because of his learning disability he is not able to read this level book without the text to audio feature. We are finding out quickly that the text to audio feature on the kindle dx is very limited in the number of books that are capable of performing this function. Wish we knew this before we bought the dx! My son loved the first book in the series. He wanted to continue reading the rest of the series but ran into a huge problem.

While I enjoyed reading it I was also let down. This was probably the second weakest book of series. <br /> <br />It's just not inspired; not as good as it could (and as the final installment) should have been. A very entertaining read, but not all it should be.

Our hero, a genetically superior teen with the power to see the magical world all around us hidden from the rest of us Muggles, lives with other similar teens in a special, separate environment where they are being trained how to best use their magical powers by, among other creatures, a centaur. Our hero uses magical creatures as well as shadows to transport himself around the world and leads the fight against the power of evil that is intent on destroying civilization. Our hero also just happens to be the ostensible subject of an ancient prophecy. The teens have to all join forces to try to deal with the forces of evil but there is a traitor among them. Yada yada yada. We've heard all this before, except that this book has none of the characterization, humor, or camaraderie of the Rowling series.

I like things that are a bit more serene, not a book whose every page, someone is wageing a war. I loved all the Percy Jackson books excepting this one. In my opion the author was a bit lackadaisical to show off his writing skills. The part where Hades tricked Nico was clever, but the awe quickly wore off. <br />By Margaret Brown I did not really like this book because it was a bit to turbulent.
