So they set off on a quest to find the golden fleece which will resuscitate the island. This features nice call backs to The Odyssey–like the manner in which Percy gets past the Cyclops and how Annabeth calls herself Nobody. Worse yet, Grover has been captured by a Cyclops (the blind Cyclops) and has to pretend to be his fiancée until he can get rescued. Other strange things are afoot at the camp though, with Chiron being blamed for the latest troubles and his replacement (who is very much against the camp) filing in. This of course upsets Clarisse (I never quit understand the characters who are so quick to anger like this–especially since she’s not a villain). A battle ensues and Percy and Tyson help to defeat some beasts.

When they get to camp half-blood, they learn the reason for the problems–the tree which protects the camp has been poisoned. (It must be very hard to create a cyclops–visually, they are just so wrong–where do you put that eye? Do the normal eye sockets still exist? I always find them disconcerting to look at). On the next page, though, we learn that the bullies are actually demons and that Tyson is able to fight them off because he is …a cyclops. The bullies make fun of Tyson too, calling him a retard, but Percy sticks up for him. At “regular” school, he is still picked on, but he now has help from a huge boy known as Tyson. He is told he shouldn’t return to Camp Half -Blood, but his mom won’t say why.

And then I had to see how the story continued, too.īook two of the graphic novel series (also with art by Attila Futaki) begins with Percy at home. The Sea of MonstersĬlark really liked the first graphic novel and asked me to get the rest.

The notes are fast and furious (and beautiful). I would have guessed they were Bach, but you can hear differences in his more modern style (and not just because of the keyboard). I don’t know a lot about Shostakovic, but the blurb says that Shostakovich, inspired by Bach wrote his own set of Preludes and Fugues in all 24 keys in 1950. It’s rare to see a world-renowned pianist willing to make such a sacrifice, but that’s how strongly Lin feels about getting the music out there, knowing that (with even more downsizing) folks could watch her perform this Tiny Desk Concert on their iPhones.Īnd while I wouldn’t think that a great pianist would have a problem playing an electronic piano, I had to wonder if the keyboard weight impacted her at all. So it’s slightly disconcerting that she is playing these beautiful pieces on a Korg keyboard. SOUNDTRACK: JENNY LIN-Tiny Desk Concert #160 (September 6, 2011).
