I had only seen the movie (RIP) until I listened to this book. It was also something I just didn't get into when I was younger, I was more into other series.
I enjoyed this audiobook and the story is really fun and adventurous. I can definitely see why so many people love this book! It had a nice mystery and I love informative fiction where I can learn about something. I am okay at Greek mythology (nevermind I studied abroad in Greece), but I had a fun time learning Greek god stories.
I know movies are different than books, but wow the movie took almost nothing from the book, minus the characters and a few of the events. I am looking forward to the Disney+ TV series adaptation, I think they'll be able to be more true to the book and Rick Riordan actually has a say in it. The casting already sounds great.
I will probably continue the series at some point.
