A review by libraryofthecrypt
The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

5.0

I loved the little sprinkles of information we got throughout this book and I can’t wait to read the next one. I’m actually a little annoyed with myself for taking so long to read these.
And the spa with Circe and the Guinea Pigs 10/10.


Movie comparison because I’ve watched them a lot when I was younger but didn’t really read these books.
I will say that I think I prefer how we met Tyson in the movie versus the book purely because Percy’s reaction in the book feels like it would be more believable than with how it is in the book aka him all of a sudden turning on his only friend at his school that he’s shown standing up for prior. And a certain other scene with Tyson just didn’t hit as hard as it did in the movie because of that.

That being said everything else that was left out should have been in the movie. Although, I do like that they moved the one scene with Tyson to almost the end of the movie instead of having it in the middle like it is in the book.
