Welcome to Litsy!

I had a harder time getting into the Sea of Monsters, compared to the first book, and didn‘t like it quite as much as The Lightning Thief. The second half was excellent though, and I breezed through to the end!

“i do not know how much they see through the mist. i doubt it would matter to them if they knew the truth. sometimes mortals can be more horrible than monsters.“

I‘m having a hard time getting into the second Percy Jackson book. Someone tell me it gets better?

At least I am enjoying some hot and sour soup on this cold, rainy day! Just battled through crazy parking lots and shoppers to pick up a prescription and rabbit litter. I don‘t think I‘m stepping foot near a shopping complex until January. People are being jerks right now! #booksandlunch

To be 100% honest this was a horrible take on the novel. The art wasn‘t that pleasant to me, and so much of the story was left out, the “battle” scenes were cut so short that they lost their luster and just made the story boring. If this wasn‘t based on the novel I already read I would have given this a much lower score.

The Lightning Thief is a fun read! What a ride!

Percy Jackson‘s life is about to turn upside down when he learns he is not just a kid, but the son of the god, Poseidon! And his best friend is no regular kid either - he is Percy‘s keeper, and oh! half goat!

Adventurous and entertaining. I think this would make for a fantastic read aloud for upper elementary school students. Definitely appreciated how so many gods‘ stories were included.

A good follow up to The Lightning Thief. Riordan does a good job introducing the characters & history for those who haven't read the first book. I love the comic relief weaved through the story, keeping things light & fun. The story moves fast & the characters are growing in depth. There are some moral lessons to be learned in addition to the bits of Greek mythology. I am really enjoying this series & finished this in 1 day. On to the next one!

I'm so glad I finally read this. Yes, there is some less mature writing since the intended age is younger, but it was still incredibly entertaining. I love the detail of the Greek mythology & the somewhat flippant attitude of the writing made things both interesting & fun. The overall mystery wasn't obvious, but clues allowed the reader to discern the ending if they paid close enough attention. I will definitely be continuing on with the series.

Finally read this - and can see why my son was drawn to it. #bbrc #middlegrade #coverchange @LibrarianRyan
