Robert’s Review on Goodreads.com:
In my opinion, the biggest bonuses of the book are the three short stories that it contains. Now, I’m not sure if the stories are completely separate from the overall plot of the series and therefore have no bearing, or if they do play a role in the things to come. Given that the characters present are in line with the most current book out, I’m led to believe that the stories are somewhat a part of the series. In which case, if you are reading the series you should check this book out. (read the entire review here)
"The Demigod Files" by Rick Riordan

Format Read: real book
Rating: 3.5/5.0 
The very worst thing about this book is that it seems like a last minute thing. As if someone said, “Hey, you know what would be great? A short book with some character information, a few short stories, and an excerpt from the last book that isn’t released yet. We’ll put it out a few months before the final book’s release to fill the void and remind people that you’re still there.” But maybe that’s just me…
The very best thing about this book is the short stories! I love short stories. I always have and always will! They’re fun, they get to the point, and they don’t have enough time to really bore you even if they suck. These short stories aren’t the greatest, but they’re good and I enjoyed them along with the other information in this book. :-)
By the way, the books “The Lost Hero” and “The Son of Neptune” (previously reviewed) are part of the sequel series. If you want to read those books, it helps to read these first.

Well, this whole site is pretty much about me. You can click the pretty "about me" link in the menu bar near the top of the page if you like, but everything on this site gives you some insight into my psyche. Good luck returning to normal. :-p
