This isn't as good as any of the Percy Jackson books, in my opinion. It just doesn't have quite the same level of humor weaved into the story, which made those books so much fun to read. But, it's still really entertaining, and it's fun to read a story involving a mythology that most are probably far less familiar with. Let's face it, Egyptian Mythology as a whole is not nearly so well known as that of the Greeks. But, in a way, that actually makes this even better than it otherwise would be, since you really do pick up elements of those unfamiliar stories as you read the book. Plus, the book itself has a pretty interesting story of its own. I really enjoyed it. While it won't go alongside the Percy Jackson books as some of my all-time fantasy favorites, I will definitely be reading the future installments.
