She has so much spunk in her traffic light body. Zeus is literally saying Apollo is trash.īut Meg McCaffery is someone I instantly adored. Dumping him in a garbage bin multiple times 😂. Which isn’t that surprising if Zeus is trying to punish him. I also thought it was funny how life just put him in the most ridiculous situations like a big joke. But I guess if you’re used to being golden and chilled, it would be alarming. The shock Apollo goes through is hilarious in how he would look down at his body and see flab, which there is nothing wrong with.
Because here you have a literal God and he’s now just a less than average teen with insecurities. So like your average teen 😂.Īnd it’s just comical. But I loved the way Rick explored Apollo with the story, and by explored, I mean, made him an acne ridden teen without a six pack. You genuinely learn something new all the time from Rick Riodan. I was surprised to learn how Apollo was casted out of Olympus not once or twice, but three times. Maybe I don’t pick up all the pieces, but I just love learning more.Īpollo is an interesting God, especially within the context of this story. I have to give all the props to Rick Riodan because he writes about Greek mythology in such a simple and humorous way that even I can understand it. There’s something so fascinating to me about learning the different beliefs that people have and the rich history/culture behind it. The reason I read any Rick Riodan book is because I love mythology, especially Greek. The idea of the Trials of Apollo is fantastic. But man, just having a good laugh really does pass the time quickly and it is such a good pick me up during hard times like this. I really found myself laughing more this time around because I guess now that I’m older with more knowledge, I feel like I understood the jokes a lot better.
Trials of apollo the dark prophecy plot movie#
It really does remind me of a Disney movie because even parents (not that I’m a parent) can watch a Disney movie and still find some adult humor in it.
I just never got around to finishing the Trials of Apollo, and when I start something, I want to finish it.Īnd can I thoroughly say that Rick Riodan’s humor has been a goshsend!!! I swear, even if I am a part of the older audience who reads his books, there’s just something to love in it. It kind of makes me want to go back and reread all of Rick Riodan’s books and maybe I will. And picking up The Hidden Oracle was such a good decision. There’s just something timeless about Rick Riodan that makes you feel young at heart. But given quarantine, I wanted to pick up the book again because I really enjoyed Rick Riodan’s books and I haven’t read one in a while. Reviewīack in 2016, I read The Hidden Oracle and I can’t say I remember that much from it, but I knew the gist of the book.
an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus’s favor.īut Apollo has many enemies-gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. To survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of a now-mortal goddess, a bronze dragon, and some familiar demigod faces from Camp Half-Blood.“Zeus needed someone to blame, so of course he’d picked the handsomest, most talented, most popular god in the pantheon: me.” AboutĬlick to read other book reviews Other Trials of Apollo Book ReviewĪfter angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Standing in Apollo's way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate - a Roman emperor whose love of bloodshed and spectacle makes even Nero look tame. if it doesn't kill him or drive him insane first. Somewhere in the American Midwest is a haunted cave that may hold answers for Apollo in his quest to become a god again. He and his companions seek the ancient oracles - restoring them is the only way for Apollo to reclaim his place on Mount Olympus - but this is easier said than done. The god Apollo, cast down to earth and trapped in the form of a gawky teenage boy as punishment, must set off on the second of his harrowing (and hilarious) trials. Summary: Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan, read by Robbie Daymond.
