Great book, I wish I would have read this a long time ago when I was in middle school haha, but I'm glad I finally read it. I loved the writing style and all of the action. The sort of twist at the end was fantastic! I had never read anything that had to do with the Greek myths, and I felt this was a good introduction.

AMAZING! I don't know why it took me so long to read this book, but i'm glad I read it. I loved the whole Greek Mythology talk, it was so interesting. All of the twists in the book were so well done.

I am so excited to continue on with this series, hopefully it doesn't take me a really long time to finish the other books! ...more

This book was so good! I'm surprised at how much I loved this book, because I was a little wary about it being a middle grade, but the writing and story wasn't as adolescent as I thought it was going to be! It was super action packed, and I loved learning more about Greek Mythology! This book was just awesome.

I love Percy and Annabeth. I was in a month-long slump and this picked me right out of it! I loved this SO much and I didn't think I was going to love it as much as I did.♥

Should I review this? :) I feel like everyone and their mother has read this series..

I listened to this on audio. I started it for #MGLIT in May. I was hoping to like it more than I did. I did watch the movie first and enjoyed the movie. The audio book just didn't keep my attention and I'd go in and out on the story. I guess Greek Gods is just not my cup of tea. ...more
