I haven't read this book since I did a book report on it in 5th grade and can I just say- IT STILL HOLDS UP. This book was the reason why I was and still am obsessed with Greek myths and rereading it as an adult brought back so many memories. Only criticism is that the kids seem way too smart for 12-year-olds but it's okay cause it's PERCY JACKSON! Love this book and it will always be 5 stars
