I definitely loved this book. Turned me into a huge nerd.
I found this book very funny, as Percy jackson is the main character.
(It does really give away itself as being a what, 2006? book, but in my opinion that is fine with how the author goes on with criticism and betters himself. I'm not here to talk about the author tho.)
I think this book also gives *some* sort of education on Greek mythology. Yes, things were made a little more 'child friendly' and you are not an immediate expert on Greek mythology when having read this but I do think it gives a fair amount of information. I liked the plot twist at the and, as it sets the other books up pretty well. This book also got me back into reading. Loved this one<3.
