I loved this book so much!! I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. I watched the movies when they came out, but never read the book as a kid. It was incredible and full of adventures and twists and turns that never stopped. There were so many things that were different than the movie, and I am so glad I read the book because it was 100 times better than the movie. The plot twists at the end of the book were entirely unexpected despite having watched the movie already. The main thing I loved was the narration of the book. The movie failed to capture the way Riordan writes from Percy’s point of view, which is filled with sarcasm and humor. All of the minor details also matched the tone that Percy’s point of view set for the book. From the humorous, foreshadowing chapter titles to the acknowledgements that made u wonder if the world of Percy Jackson actually existed in real life, this book was phenomenal. 5/5
