I rally enjoyed this. I never read these as a kid but I think I'm appreciating them more as an adult as I understand the Greek references.

I loved Percy. I liked seeing a dyslexic main character and Riordan writes it so well.

Now I have to admit I did see the film years ago and now I understand why the fans hate it. I felt like I did not recognise anything that happened in the book!!

I can't wait to read book 2!
