Oh wow! I really enjoyed this! It was an amazing adventure with Percy and his friends.While reading I was actually seeing the story play out in my mind.I loved the world Rick Riordan has created. I enjoyed it thoroughly. This book was also very funny where I was laughing out loud. I have never read about a 12 year old so awesome and I am anticipating book 2 very much. Wow! Definitely one of my favorite fantasy reads.
