I prefer The Hobbit's storytelling style over The FOTR. The tone in this story is more poignant and descriptive than The Hobbit's. It is probably because that was more towards children whilst the sequel is for adult readers? Also I think I have seen the Percy Jackson movie too many times now that the paces were a little bit slower for my taste. No wonder it's over 500 pages. Needless to say though I loved reading this book as much as I loved the movie. The whole world building and the immersion is beyond any other story. It's like a whole new world. I have seen only 2 other authors doing that (according to my taste) G.R.R.M. with the Game of Thrones and Rowling with the HP world.
