  The Sea of Monsters

  You'll find Monster Donuts here in this book! (lol)

  Before reading this book, perhaps it will be better for you to read Homer's Odyssey first (or at least have some background knowledge), because you'll meet all kinds of monsters and nymphs, especially the Cyclops and Circe.

  Before reading this book, perhaps it will be better for you to read Homer's Odyssey first (or at least have some background knowledge), because you'll meet all kinds of monsters and nymphs, especially the Cyclops and Circe.

  The Cyclops part is really funny. It repeated Odysseus's taunting about "Nobody," and I can't help burst out laughing when I read the part when Annabeth imitated Odysseus to provoke the Cyclops.

  This book is much more interesting than The Lightning Thief, with exciting plots and unexpected turns. The ending is also very surprising, and this makes me eager to move onto book 3. However, the winter vacation has come to an end. T^T

  Io amo profondamente questa saga e l'autore. Mitici, sia in senso letterale che non!!
  Questo libro ha tutto ciò che si possa chiedere da un libro: azione, humor, tenerezza, colpi di scena.. E la mitologia greca. Tanto tanto amore.
  La cosa bellissima è che Riordan prende i miti greci e li riadatta alla realtà contemporanea; ma non lo fa semplicemente copia/incollando le azioni degli eroi facendole rivivere ai nostri protagonisti, ma le stravolge con grande abilità e ingegno.
  E poi i mostri, dei, creature immortali vengono spesso presentate "nel vivo della storia", non per nome e famigli.. E tu lì a gridare dentro di te: "E' circe!!", "Sono i lestrigoni" e compagnia bella.. Consigliatissimo! :D

  Stamattina uscendo di corsa ho preso questo libro perché mi facesse compagnia in treno.. Ecco, non era previsto che venisse terminato in giornata! ._. (Colpa della professoressa che mi ha fatto attendere per il ricevimento una cosa come tre ore e mezza. Dettagli).

  I am completely into it. I enjoyed reading the second story of Percy and I can't wait to read the next ones.

  Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Sea of Monsters

  This book is as good as the first one, although it takes a bit longer to get into it. I love the ended when ****** comes back, it's so effective!!

  This is the next installment of the Percy Jackson series. To tell you the truth, I liked this book the least out of the five. I didn't like the whole Golden Fleece incident. What I did like was the end when Thalia became human again. I had so many predictions of what was going to happen in the next book of the series and my predictions weren't right. I would recommend this book, but it wasn't the best in the series.
