However, the reasons you listed are also quite biased (I'm not saying you are biased in favor of hating it, you rated it five stars after all, just to clarify) Most people don't acknowledge that they are not the target audience, or that they personally don't like Greek mythology. It's okay if you don't like it, but don't spout all these stupid reasons I listed up there for disliking it.

And if you can, please explain to me why Percy Jackson sucks. Feel free to comment and add your thoughts. That's the worst flaw you could have in that situation. He still rushes into things without really thinking it over about how it will affect the entire world, which just makes it more powerful because the entire fate of the world hinges on a single decision of his.

Make no mistake, I am also a huge HP fan, but it disturbs me how shallow the reasons for hating PJO are. And what I find weird about this is that a lot of HP fans criticize PJO for repeating the plot over and over again.

THere are new twists on Greek mythology, new conflicts, new characters. Step one, something weird happens, step two, they go to camp, step three, they go on a quest whether Chiron likes it or not. 'The plot is repeated over and over again.' If PJO is a HP ripoff, than HP is also a Lord of the Rings ripoff. I'll admit that separating them into houses is a bit of copying, but seriously, who cares? It's not like Rowling is terribly original either. Capture the flag is also used to teach survival skills, and Quidditch is more like an Olympic game people do for fun. Camp Half-Blood was made for survival purposes. That is NOT a ripoff.Īs for the world-building, I still don't see that. They have different personalities, different pasts, different flaws. And besides, Annabeth, Grover and Percy develop in far different ways than Hermione, Harry and Ron do. The sidekick, the know it all, the outcast heroes are archetypes. A lot of people use the same stereotypes Rowling does. Saying something's stupid is not a legitimate reason for hating a book. I've heard this so many times before it kind of sickens me. I'll list some arguments I've heard here and refute them. I have met quite a few PJO haters, and I never quite understand why they hate it.
