I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I wish I hadn't watched the movie before reading it, because I felt like that ruined a bit of enjoyment of this book for me, but for the most part I had such a fun time reading this book and I'm looking forward to continuing on with the series.

I haven't watched it and I'm not planning on it. :)
the sequels are much better, you will see. I am glad you enjoyed it.
so happy you liked it! i also watched the movies before causing me not to like the first to much either. im glad im not the only one who felt that way!
The second book is better than it keep on getting better!!
I only read the first book and I think the same, I need to read more!
Is there a booktalk coming about the Lightning Thief?
i haven't watched the second movie or well the first one either but i did try watching it.... i couldn't last longer than 10 mins approximately, it was pretty bad
YAY YOU FINALLY READ IT. It's a really fun series and I hope you continue it!!
So proud of you Jesse!

Ohmygods you finally read the first book :D I'm so happy you liked it. Welcome to this insane fandom. Can't back out now ;) *rubs hands together creepy-ish* Hope you'll have a dam good time with the rest of the series. (See what I did there :P).
Lenny, he won't get the dam joke until the third book :P
Awesome review Jesse! I'm planning on starting this series soon.
YAAAYYY! So glad you liked it!!
Wow congrats Jessie! You're joining the family now! Hoping to see your views with xtinemay, Ariel, Katy, and Liz real soon! :)
YES!!!! You liked it!
I'm soooooo happy that you enjoyed it!!! I'm in love with these books and let me tell you: it gets even better!!!!
Seaweed boy has a new fan!!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it. It is my #1 series of all time.
YAS JESSE FINALLY
FINALLY! Hope you enjoy the series and the other books, also make sure to get Demigod Files and Demigod Diaries. Demigod Files takes place between Books 4&5 of PJO. I recommend reading Demigod Diaries AFTER you read The Lost Hero, because it works best that way.
SO GLAD YOU LOVED IT! I'll tell you that it just gets better and better and better! And yes you feel our pain! The movies were horrible! It's sad cause it had such potential to be a good movie series!
Thank you for finally reading it! THIS SERIES AND THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS SERIES ARE HONESTLY MY FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIMES! I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

also i will murder anyone who spoils Jesse
I just finished reading this one. I also saw both movies before and I agree. The movies were not completely true to the store and took away the suspense just a little from reading the book. I cant wait to get to the other books in the series. I will be look forward to a review vlog when your are done with the series. By the way your love your amazingly hilarious videos!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this series! Percy Jackson was my Harry Potter... I literally grew up with him. I hope you get to continue this series because it truly is amazing.
I hope you continue on with the series because in my opinion it just get better
To the movie vs. book thing I honestly enjoyed both of them. I find the movie was so drastically different than the book that I could dissociate them from one another and enjoy both (which is kind of a really bad thing for the movie but oops)
YAY YOU READ IT! you won't regret reading this amazing series!
YAY PJO BOOK TALKS SO PROUD
The movies are so bad!
The movie are terrible
The movie are terrible
The movie are terrible
