Personal Experiences of the Book

 When I first read the book "Red Pyramid," by Rick Riordan my thoughts were that, there was this boy named Carter and a girl named Sadie who were related and wanted each other's life. But, as I read more about the book I realized that it was much more than that. It was about two kids whose problems helped them get a closer bond to one another. For instance, in the beginning of the book it talked about how they weren't that close to one another but after one journey it all changed. The journey that caused them to be more dependent on one another and the journey that helped them put their bitterness behind and actually work as a team.
  What I liked about this book was that it was written in different perspectives of both Carter and Sadie. I liked this about the book because it helped me get a better understanding of the situation and it helped get point of views of both characters so that the story wasn't biased. Another reason on why I liked the book "The Red Pyramid," is because I like the story/topic, themes and the way the story coorporates with histroical stuff. I usually never read hystorical fiction books but after reading about Ancient Egypt I feel a closer bond/ connection to Egypt. So now I encourage myself to read more historical fiction books.
 

If you like this book, you should read this...

  You should read "The Throne of Fire" by Rick Riordan because it's the second book of "The Red Pyramid." I think that if you like the first book you should love the second because both books are related in a way. They have the same features. When I say this I mean themes, big ideas, same format.
  You should also read the series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" featuring the books "The Lightning Thief," "The Sea of Monsters," "The Titan's Curse," and "The Last Olympian." The books were all by Rick Riordan and were called, "Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats," by The New York Times Review. Publishers Weekly said about the book that, "In a feat worthy of his heroic subjects, Riordan crafts a sequel stronger than his compelling debut. School Library Journal wrote that, "All in all, a winner of Olympic proportions."
  Other books you should read include books by the author R.L Stine because those books (Fear Street books) include the same thriller you experience in the book "Red Pyramid." Another thing that the books have in common is that they both have big ideas with a cliff-hanger story along with it. The ideas you see in the story are very interesting that it lures you in quickly in the introduction.
    If you liked the way the book "The Red Pyramid" had different perspectives in the story then I think you should read the book "Flipped" by Wendelin Van Draanen. I think that you should read this book because it uses the same format as "The Red Pyramid." In this book a girl named Julianna and a guy named Bryce tells the reader their experiences with one another in their own way. Julianna felt like it was a dream meeting Bryce but to Byrce he felt like it was hell to meet a girl like Julianna.
