Thank you! Yeah but I just wish I hadn't watched the movie because [spoilers removed]"
Oh I know what you mean. That's annoying, it's a huge spoiler >.<
@ Mari Yeung
Yes, that's why I just wish I hadn't watched the movie before reading the book, so I would've felt more surprised. ☹️☹️
YES! Happy reading Reynita!! I love this series 😍
@ Beatrice
Thank you! AND OMG, THIS BOOK WAS SO FREAKING GOOD. I EVEN SLEPT AT 6 AM TODAY. It's because I couldn't put it down. I SERIOUSLY NEED THE SECOND BOOK RIGHT NOW.
I just read it for the first time last month and I'd already seen the movie too..oh well. I'm on book 3 now.
@ Nelly
I just ordered the second book and the third book, yesterday. I can't wait to read the second book 😩😩
i remember when i watched the movie and i honestly remember noting. everyone seems to hate it so i plan on sticking with my filled memory of other important things and not watching the movie again. i still have to read this series though since i know it's a lot better than the movie. i mean, it doesn't compare.
great review reynita! <3

So happy you're reading this as it's an absolute fave, but don't worry about having watched the film already - we members of the fandom (you're one now too!) completely disregard the films as they are terrible haha, SO feel free to forget you ever saw it and keep reading the books as they are WAY BETTER. Enjoy!
@ Maggie
Thank you! And to be honest, I used to like the movie but I watched it before I became this, a book lover and then few days ago, I rewatched the movie and it was ... not good and YES THE BOOK IS A LOT BETTER THAN THE MOVIE.
@ Jackie
Hahahahaha absolutely! seriously, the book is WAY better than the movie I just can't wait to read the second book. I should've ordered it when I realized I liked the first book. I was such a fool. 😫😩
@ Sophia
THIS BOOK WAS SO AWESOME! I can't wait to read the second book. I just miss Percy, Grover and Annabeth so much right now. 😫😭
I constantly miss them as well!
I plan on rereading the rest of the series this year after rereading the Lightning Thief in March (maybe April?)
@ Sophia
Oh, you've read this series! Did you love this series?
With all my heart! It's my favorite series of all time
great review Reynita!
(I just wondering, have you start/read Heroes of Olympus too?)
Thank you so much! And no, I haven't! But the first book in Heroes of Olympus series is on my want to read list and I'll buy a copy soon. I really like Rick Riordan's writing style! It's so funny and good. 👏🏻😂
<3
yes, he writes quite awesome & funny. hope you read it soon ;)
