Review-The Sea of Monsters By:Rick Riordan



Summary-
As I said in my review of The Lightning Thief- "I'm afraid that every summary I found online spoiled what happens in the story and I am awful at writing that sort of thing myself so if you want to know what happens I have a secret way to tell you..... *psst over here*    READ THE BOOK!!! :)

My Thoughts-
I love this series! It isn't anywhere near being a challenge to read, yet it isn't a 7 year old's story book either. This book's reading level is meant for kids around 12 years of age which would normally be perfect since I'm 12 but I was reading The Lord of the Rings at age 7 (and enjoying it) so I'm not exactly your average 12 year old reader. So because of how easy it is I have to make it a 4 star but the story line itself deserves 5 stars! Again I love reading about Mythology and gods and goddesses so this was another favorite

Character Notes-
In the beginning of The Lightning Thief Percy was... lets face it... a .wimp. But he is changing into a much more confident person. So much so that when someone makes a decision that he doesn't agree with, he will go ahead and do what he thinks is right. That being something the old Percy never would have done.


Story Notes-
I love Riordan's writing style so much! One of the things that stand out to me about it is his tendency to have his characters make funny remarks in the midst of a battle or dire situation. I can't help but smile!


Summing It Up-
I love this book even if it is somewhat of an easy read! 4/5 stars!
