I feel the same! He is so deep! But Leo is so hilarious! And Percy...you gotta love him. Still can't figure why he got stuck with a complicated girl like Annabeth...or maybe I dislike her just because I couldn't have him. LOL

I personally really relate to Annabeth. I love her so much. Percy is not STUCK with her....they are a lovely couple! And Tyson might be my favorite character ever. He is so sweet!! Nico is pretty deep, but I don't feel for him the way a lot of girls do...his "darkness" doesn't appeal to me, the way it does to others, it seems. If I could date anyone in the series, it would probably be one of the guys from Apollo. Not Percy. I feel like I love Percy like a brother.

I like Annabeth a lot but Percy hmm I've always felt Percy was to, I don't know really how to explain it, but I've always felt it would WAY to easy for him to change sides. Tyson! I LOVE HIM!! he's soo SWEET!!

Hmmm, I like Percy as a brother too! I was just kidding up there...he is not my type. But how fun he would be as a brother! And Annabeth is too nerdy and proud for me. But somehow I still like her. Tyson is a sweetie! I like Piper better than annabeth b/c Piper is humble, I guess. I like humble people. Bianca...she's cool too!

Yeah, I like Percy as a brother. Annabeth is kinda...a know it all lol, but she's still cool. Tyson is just adorable. Nico is dark and mysterious, yet there's something about him that's just really neat. Piper is alright, just, something about her just isn't my favorite. Jason is really epic, I love how the Roman side is played into all of this. Leo, well, Leo is crazy, but in the best way possible. He lightens the mood at the necessary times and is amazing. (plus, he can control fire! ) I really wonder how he'll end up playing into the whole scheme of things. Hazel is sweet, I mean, she's from New Orleans which is pretty close by and her whole background is one of the more interesting backgrounds that the characters have. Frank, he's alright

Percy and Annabeth are my favorites. I don't like Piper or Jason very much. I love Grover too.

Grover!! I cannot believe I didn't mention him before! He and Tyson might be my favorite characters, but Annabeth I love. I think it is hilarious to read the reasons why you guys don't like her (or love her) because she is so much like me, it is kind of scary. I, too, can be a bit of a know-it-all, and that I annoy people because of it. So...yeah. I like Annabeth because I feel like, while reading the stories, I AM Annabeth. But I don't really think my Somebody is anything like Percy. Not really at all. Jason is pretty cool, but I can't say I think he and Piper are that great of characters. I have nothing against them, but I just felt like they were pretty flat, compared to some of the other characters Riordan hath crafted. I don't know, it's probably just me. But Leo was more than up to par. Jason and Piper seem to pale in his wake, like they pale in comparison to Percy, Selena, Annabeth, Nico, Grover, Thalia...everybody from the first series. But this is just me.

Jason is kinda flat, but that's probably because he's only been in one book-but most of the others (Percy, Annabeth, Thalia..etc.) have been in multiple, so you know them better. I'm hoping that Jason, Piper, Leo..etc. will get a lot more developed in this series.

I started the Lost Hero book and it's pretty good so far. I would have never guess that Jason and Thalia are siblings! Oh my gosh Coach Hedge is HILARIOUS!!! I like him a lot but I love Grover!! and Leo is pretty funny and of course I like Piper!

I have once before but I don't really remember much of it.
Has anyone ever read "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children?" If you haven't read it you should. Especially if you like the slightly creepy books. Just so if anyone does read it there is one small spot towards the beginning of the book where one of the characters breaks the third commandment for a second, and they say the s word as well. There might be other not very nice words but I can't remember

Cor Mariae, those are the best three signature pics ever. Seriously.
And with that, I'll step out of the conversation because I have never read the Percy Jackson books and have no clue what you people are talking about. I've gotta say, though: I love how everybody's talking about how they feel towards particular characters. Haha.

*I don't know if this will have spilers*
My three favorite characters are: Leo, Thalia, and Percy.
Percy is such a great guy. He would make an amazing big brother or little brother. He's so... Nice and courageous. I also like when he and Poseidon talk. It's so neat watching them react to each other!!
Leo is just epic. He's the funniest character Rick Riordan has ever created (in my opinion). I hate, however, how he seems to be such a 3rd wheel around Jason and Piper. It's like he's not good enough for them and so he is sort of like a side kick.
I thought in the HoO that the book was too centered around how Jason and Piper feel about each other. In the Percy Jackson series, Annabeth and Percy's feelings were a side thing, but they were extremely important to the story. They didn't need to over express it like Jason and Piper.
I don't know... I never really liked Annabeth. I have nothing against her, however.
