The Percy Jackson Series by Rick Rordian (spelled right?)

I know there for kids younger than me, but when my brother left it lying on my bed, I just picked it up, I put it down again at 1:00 at night after I had finished. I just finished the sixth one last night.

I thought they were funny and very clever in a way. He (Rordian) twisted all the classic mythology stories around and put them down in present day America. e.g. Charybdis has braces
(Sorry if no one knows who that is, I'm Greek and a bit of a mythology freak.)

Great book's, good reading, funny story

Please tell me what you guys think,

Peter

The sixth one came out yesterday, and it's called The Last Olympian
It's great, and in the acknowledgments, it says
"As the first Camp Half Blood Series draws to a close,"
Does this mean he's writing another series?
I hope so, this guy is amazing.

Peter
