How we worked this out

The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series #3) is about 58,575 words, estimated from its 213 pages at about 275 words a page. At 250 words a minute, that comes to 3 hours 54 minutes.

Most reading-time sites default to 300 words a minute. The best evidence we could find, a 2019 meta-analysis of 190 studies by Marc Brysbaert, puts silent adult reading of English prose closer to 238 words a minute for non-fiction and 260 for fiction. We use 250. It is slower than the number you will see elsewhere, and it is closer to how people actually read.

This is still a model, not a measurement. When enough ReadersGuild readers have finished The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series #3), we will replace this estimate with the time they actually took.
