THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!! I read it in 12 hours! Such great characters. Such great world building! Camp Halfblood ROCKS (in the "only when Percy is there" kind of way). I enjoyed watching Percy learn about who he is AND seeing his interactions with the gods.

His disobedience and smart mouth was my favorite part of the book. He refused to let ANYONE pit him against what he felt was right.

The plot of the book was genius. It was almost like a mystery novel, trying to figure out "whodunnit". And when you see how it all unfolds, you're like "Whoa! This is awesome!"

Cannot wait to read Book 2!
