Fast-paced story but it's written so well that you won't even question it. Left no room for questions regarding character backgrounds— it actually added a lot of intricate details, same could be applied when talking about the adventures itself. There's suspense that'll keep you hooked every next chapter which it great for a teenager like me lol. The characters are lovable if not bearable— rated it a 4.5 because it left me on a cliffhanger HAHAHAH so if you don't want that i recommend buying the series all together so you can continously read and finish it all.

The classic tale that reignited children’s & kids at heart’s interest in the Greek gods of old. Percy, Grover & Annabeth embark on an infamous quest (aka cross country bus trip) to find Zeus’ stolen lightning bolt, fraught with demigods, mythical creatures, and stirrings of betrayal. This is only the beginning…

Didn’t think I would get so invested in this story. I often forgot that Percy is only 12. I do have to say that there are things he learned pretty quickly which sometimes seemed a bit unrealistic.

I was absolutely shocked about the Casino scene in Las Vegas. I really liked Luke too… And I really want Poseidon and Sally together omg.
