  This is a good book! I like how it tells you about greek Mythology.
  It is a real page-turner for me. The monsters give me a chill down my spine, and I like how it also reaches out to the New York culture.

  I watched the movie before I read this book. I found that the film is more exciting than this novel but still this book is worth reading if you love Greek mythology

  Yes, there are way too many similarities with Harry Potter, and I surely found it less magical and less enchanting than HP's adventures.
  However, I think this book is a very nice way to get kids (I would say 9-12) excited about Greek mythology.
