My favorite narrator

My favorite narrator is, without question, Percy Jackson, the main character in the series of books called Percy Jackson and the olympians. The novel is set in a modern day world where the greek gods are still interacting with humans just as they did in the times of Odysseus and Hercules. They are very interesting books that follow the life of Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, as he journeys to put an end to the evil of Kronos. The story is told in first person from the perspective of Percy and really puts the reader in the front seat by detailing almost everything in a way that is very easy to understand and visualize. Most of the many fighting scenes are very detailed and make the read feel like he can actually see the fight going on as he is reading. I have not had this kind of experience in the books that I have read (although the list is not very long) and would like to find some books that are similar because I know that I will enjoy them.

I also found that Percy was very good at describing things that happened even outside of fighting scenes. He could make a walk through the forest as interesting to people as discovering a new element to a scientist was and could also crack a joke at the most serious times. This kind of narration really kept me interested in the novel and I know that the Percy Jackson series was very good, however, I do not think that it would be nearly as good if the narrator was not as detailed and funny as he was.

I really recommend anyone who has not given these books a try, including adults, to start the first book. I believe that once you start, you will not stop.
