The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan (2007, Paperback, Reprint)

Sorry this took so long... my bad. This was a great buy...had no problems, would do it again in a heart beat.

Oh, yeah! Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, returns for more trouble. Though a well contained story about facing famous Greek monsters to rescue some treasures, this book begins to outline a broader story. Author Rick Riordan expands his mythological palette to include, not just the Olympians, but their precursors, the Titans.

This book has all the strengths of the original Percy Jackson adventure, The Lightning Thief. Fast paced action, cliff hangers in every chapter, likable characters, and clever original writing make this book a winner.

I love Grover and the other characters and the authore is excellent books are highly recommended. Read the book in one day and order the next books in the series.

I read childrens fantacy because grown up books have too much filth in them. I have enjoyed reading the adventures of Percy Jackson because it is based on Greek Mythology and that is something a childrens writer hasn't tackled yet, that I know of anyway. I enjoyed mythology in highschool but didn't retain much of it. These books give neet reminders as to who a god or goddess is and what happend to them as Percy and his co-horts attempt the quest for each book. I am looking forward to reading book 4 but don't have time right now. I am also looking forward to letting my son read them this summer, because I think he will enjoy them greatly. Sometimes I find it hard to find books that a boy would like but these are books that girls or boys would enjoy.

My son liked the first book so much he couldn't put it down and he hates to read so I just had to get this book also. My so was the one that chose it. He can't wait to read it.
