I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I was going to, to be honest. I like Greek mythology and all the various gods that come with it, so the premise of the book was right up my alley. Percy Jackson finds out he's a demigod, fights monsters, and goes on a cross-country quest to save the world. I'm all for it! I think what threw me off was the fact that I had to pick this book up in the children's section of Barnes and Noble. I was under the impression it was considered YA, which I always assumed was in the teen section.
I'm glad I finally picked this book up, though. It was a fun read! It's been awhile since I've read a book that was just, pure fun. The plot had kind of a slow start, but, once it got started, it was unstoppable! I found myself cheering Percy and his friends on and becoming rather invested in the outcome. I will say that it was a bit juvenile. I wasn't expecting it to be overly complex, but I was disappointed at how quickly I figured out the twists and turns. Still, it was fun to watch Percy figure it out. I haven't decided whether I'll be continuing this series, but I do think this was a strong start!

This was my first time reading since middle school. The book holds up to the test of time. It had me audibly laughing and even crying. Would definitely recommend.
