The
Red Pyramid
is a fantasy book along the lines of the harry Potter
books, and is just as good. The two main characters
are very easy to get to know and want to cheer on, right
from the first page. The story starts out slow to set
everything up, but it is not very long when things get
very twisty, and pretty much keeps you guessing right
up until the very end. There are also several characters
that you meet along the way, and each one has their
own unique personality, as well as their own place in
the story. Rick Riordan has shown himself as a great
story teller with a unique vision for fantasy stories.
The descriptions of what you read are incredibly vivid
and are easy to picture as you go, from the biggest
buildings with the highest vaulted ceilings down to
the smallest hieroglyphics. This book is tailored towards
young adults, so if you are looking for a fantasy book
with no adult themes, this will work perfectly. I have
an eleven year old nephew that I will be passing this
book onto, as this would be a great book to read, and
expand his vocabulary with. I recommend this book.
