I just love all the books in these series. It's fun to re-read them.
Attempting to get back into the minds of my middle-schoolers. I forgot just how good this book is! Great plot, hilarious characters, and pretty decent sentence variation (which makes it very helpful for grammar lessons).

tbh I spend years doubting the worth of this series, bcs sadly, i watched the movie first (which is ass except for Logan Lerman my beloved), I found the Half-blood shirts ugly (i’m not sorry) and also bc I was a HP girly (and always will, im so cringe, i know) so it was like treason to my tumblr community.
But let me tell you, this was so much fun <3 Percy is an amazing mc, he’s funny and charming, and is easy to relate to, the fast pace made it enjoyable and you just need more and more. I also loved how the author adapted and incorporated the greek mythology into the story, i mean, details like the spiders and the zebra??? wow ahhshshsh

Character motivations are consistent. No major plot holes. Dialogue is a bit shallow, as characters are 12 years old. Good forshadowing, and good plot arc that's not entirely guessable.
Eager to see more of Percy and his powers in the next book.
