This is my fourth re-read, but I have never written a review. This book/series still holds up even now. I was feeling nostalgic, and reading this really hit that spot for me. I have always been interested in Greek mythology, and this series helped nurture that early on. The world of Percy Jackson is interesting, and the adventure and action is fun. There is also plenty of humor and laughs to be had (especially with Grover). All in all, this is always a great time and something I can easily come back to time and time again.
