I first read this book when I was in elementary and in my Greek Mythology phase. Now years later, I've decided to reread it and see if it holds up to what I thought of it when I was young.
Despite how long it's been, I can confidently say that this has been one of my favorite books to read. The story of Percy coming into his own and learning about who he is was an entertaining one, his personality and lack of filter wanting to make you laugh. Seriously, have you tried imagining a twelve year old trying to pick fights with gods?
There's so much more that's great about this book, however if I try to continue this review would become an incoherent mess. 😂
