Great companion book

Would you listen to Percy Jackson & The Olympians again? Why?

Of course, the story never gets old and you always learn something new each time you listen/read.

What other book might you compare Percy Jackson & The Olympians to and why?

The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica. Both series share the trait of taking established work and weaving it into a completely new story.

Which character – as performed by Jesse Bernstein – was your favorite?

Beckendorf, he's just an awesome dude.

Fantastic

What did you love best about Percy Jackson & The Olympians?

The story was awesome, it answered questions like where Bob the Titan came from and Beckendorf and the bronze dragon.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, although the first story was a tiny bit boring, the other two were really good and I liked the camper interviews. Jesse Bernstein is one of my favorite narrators.

Any additional comments?

This was really good but the print version has a map and puzzles that you don't get to do with the audiobook.

I love that it sounds exactly how it would in real life.

I like the different tones for the voices that Jesse does for all the different characters

Riordan throws us a few scraps from his table

These stories add almost nothing to the Percy Jackson saga. They seem to be chapters that were cut out of the final draft -- who knows. The individual stories are good -- very much like what you would expect of Percy and his pals. I was so glad that Jesse Bernstein was the reader. If it had been Joshua Swanson, the reader who is murdering the Heroes of Olympus series, I would not have touched it. I have to admit, Bernstein was hard to get used to -- but now, I could not imagine Percy Jackson with any other voice. I bought this audiobook to fill the LONG wait I am experiencing between Riordan's books. I know he is turning out a book a month (or so it seems). It is just that he is leaving these series, like the Heroes of Olympus, unfinished. How long are we supposed to wait? While we are waiting for Percy and Jason to team up against the bad guys, this is a good filler.
