Loved the mix of real-world elements and Greek mythology. I really enjoyed the quest and seeing how the monsters blended into places around the country. Medusa and The Lotus Hotel were my favorites.

DNF at about page 100. The writing was fine but I guess Greek mythology just isn't my thing.

This book is still so, so good. The description is great when it needs to be, and the story and action just flow. I didn't realise how much of the book was set up before the main plot gets going, but it's worth it for the emotional payoffs throughout.

 I liked this book, but I feel like I would have liked it a lot more if I had read it years ago. I will definitely read the second book in the series, but I'm not sure if I will continue with the series after that.

Ce tome 1 est très introductif, on découvre Percy ainsi que Annabeth et Grover. Tout va assez vite , on sent la littérature jeunesse mais grâce à ça, on se retrouve vite plonger dans l'aventure

this book was BORING!!! this is most definitely made for kids... the writing was bland.. did not even feel nothing for the characters whatsoever!

This middle grade is loved by everybody but sadly it wasnt for me.

It's a good introduction on getting people interested in Greek mythology. Has enjoyable characters, monsters, and adventure. Some of the humor wasn't for me, and the middle dragged on a bit, but I liked it well enough.

Uno de los mejores libros que he leído, en la relectura no empeoró y me hizo recordar que cosas que me había olvidado
