My son (struggling reader) loves mythology but the reviews on the first three books of this series by Michael Scott were so-so.The fourth book, Necromancer has 4 an 5 stars! I couldn't get him to read three books just to get to a good fourth one. Would you say picking up Necromancer without reading the first three would be worth it?

No. Start with the first and read thru the series. I actually liked all the books.
You definitely don't want to read that one without reading them in order. The book wouldn't make any sense without reading the first 3.
Hmmm, maybe I could read them and set the story up for him and then give him Necromancer. He's not going to be patient enough to do that, but I would have fun with it. I see there's even an online game for Necromancer that might spark his interest. Now I'm really curious about the series.....Thanks!
Don't go by the reviews of the books. Form your own opinion.
My kids LOVE that series. My husbands loves them as well, and I think they're pretty good. We've recommended them to friends, and so far they've all really liked them, too.
