I NOW KNOW WHAT THE HYPE IS ALL ABOUT 
 Let's first get this out of the way.. I did not read the first book because i figured that since i already watched the movie, i won't be thrilled with the first book anymore.. BIG MISTAKE! The book was nowhere like the movie. I mean, basing from the second book... it totally isn't one and the same. Ugh.. just look at the age. Anywayy.. i admit that i loved the movie. So i promise to read the first book when i get the time off.. or when i feel like it. haha. 
 So i loved the book. YES i love it!!! Actually, i listened to the audiobook while doing chores and checked the physical book from time to time. It was an enjoyable read.. FUN FUN FUN. Lots of adventure and lots of morals for kids. I mean, of course i sooo don't pass for a kid anymore yet i feel like i re-learned some values. Percy as a hero is surely a good kid. I like Annabeth as well because she's a brave one and because she never left Percy even if she calls her stupid 50% of the time. Their banters are precious. haha. I also grew to love Tyson.. hmm.. well.. because he's soooo frikkin loyal to Percy even at the time wherein Percy doesn't want him as a brother. I think i'd love to see Tyson in the next movie (yea, i'd like for the movie to have a sequel and i don't mind the difference in age.. i'll get over it.. eventually. ahha). Grover on the other hand... haha.. hahahahaha! i can definitely laugh out loud with his scenes here. He's one funny Satyr! what a dashing.. i mean blushing bride! Haha.. Oh well.. i guess it's quite obvious that i love the main characters. They made the whole book colorful and full of life. It's like i'm with them throughout their journey. I love it. The plot is just right..totally awesome and the end part? SHOCKER. 
 I'll be listening to the next book now. =)
