The story itself is good, plus I love Greek mythology so what more could you ask for. But the writing style bothered me a bit (which makes sense since it's a more a middle-grade novel and I'm much older) and I admit that it kept me from completely hanging on to the book.

The characters are really endearing, even if Percy is a bit stupid (almost annoying sometimes), but he's funny and sassy so I forgive him :) I also love the dynamic between Percy and Annabeth, can't wait to see how it will evolve (even if I already know aproximately how it will end). And let's not forget Grover, I hope to see him again soon. I can't wait to see all three of them evolve and grow !
