Were you a bit of an oddball in school? Or maybe you're still in school and feel like you don't quite fit in? I mean, everyone's weird in their own way, but you know what I mean.

People lose their minds when the Harry/Percy character utters the name of a powerful figure. 3. The big bad (Kronos/Voldemor...

\n Chiron looked surprised. “I thought that would be obvious enough. The entrance to the Underworld is in Los Angeles.”\nAs someone who has worked in Los Angeles, I can tell you that this is completely accurate.\nWhile Harry Potter was spending his summers at the Dursleys, Percy Jackson attended Camp Half-Blood. This book has done the impossible: it has redeemed the name of Percy.\nYes, that's right, that snot-faced, lily-livered waste of air of the very same name from the Harry Potter universe...
