Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Books 2-5 by Rick Riordan

So I think that I like action books. I always thought I liked more academic reads (which I do sometimes) but I also realized I like Harry Potter-esque type books too. The rest of the series (I literally finished them in like a week to a week and a half) was really good! Again, there definitely wasn't much beyond the plot but it was good! I mean I guess comparatively to Harry Potter (since both are on the side of fantasy), Harry Potter had more depth - perhaps more 3-dimensional characters but the action and just the way the plot tied together was really good~

There was definitely blatant messages about saving the environment and saving earth and there weren't any plot inconsistencies (I hate that) so overall I'd have to say it was well thought out, although again, I can't say much for depth. I didn't read the book with the intent of getting much out of it anyway, so in the end, it was quite satisfying. Now I want to go watch the movie (though I think I heard that it flopped).

Definitely recommend to a non-reader though I suppose it depends on what kind of genre that particular non-reader likes.
