Product Description
Percy Jacksons seventh-grade year has been surprisingly quiet. Not a single monster has set foot on his New York prep-school campus. But when an innocent game of dodgeball among Percy and his classmates turns into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, things get . . . well, ugly. And the unexpected arrival of Percys friend Annabeth brings more bad news: the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and unless a cure is found, the only safe haven for demigods will be destroyed. In this fresh, funny, and hugely anticipated follow up to The Lightning Thief, Percy and his friends must journey into the Sea of Monsters to save their beloved camp. But first, Percy will discover a stunning new secret about his family -- one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidons son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

 Just a sequel December 8, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. I'm a fan of all of the percy jackson series. This book doesn't stand up to the others though. Once again percy goes out on an adventure, but this time he's going to get the mystical golden fleece before the protective borders of camp half-blood fade away. It's full of excitement. It just doesn't stand up to book one. Read this book. but if it seems worse than book one keep reading the series.
 Another excellent title by Rick Riodan December 4, 2008
My nine-year old loves these books. We used to ask him to read in the morning instead of watching television. With the Percy Jackson books he doesn't need to be asked. I read with him on the first two books and they are very good books. He has read three of the four books since September and is into the fourth book now. Great series. Hope that there is more to follow.
My 13yr old couldn't put it down. November 13, 2008
My son who is 13 yrs old, couldn't put it down. We ended up buying the whole series. It was very nice to see him want to read!
Great installment to the Percy Jackson series. November 11, 2008
The other day I posted a review for The Lightning Theif and felt as though I had to continue writing reviews for the other books in the the series.
The Sea of Monsters is continues the first book's great character development and action packed adventures.
This time Percy must set out with his friend Annabeth to find his other friend and satyr Grover who has been held captive by a hungry cyclops.
To do this Percy and Annabeth must sail through the sea of monsters.
While journeying they come across many obstacles and find them selves in peril.
As well as the first one,I could never put it down.
I will continue to post reviews of this series on this site.
Review for the series more than for the book November 4, 2008
First off, this is an excellant series. It easily teaches mythology, history, and geography through a well-written and interesting adventure. That said, I found this book to be lacking a bit compared to the 1st (The Lightning Thief) and the 3rd (The Titan's Curse) books in the series. Then again, I would give this book 4 stars on it's own because it is still a very good book, and a must for anyone reading the series. Great books for children and anyone interested in mythology.
