The Sea of Monsters

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 2

By: Rick Riordan

Narrated by: Jesse Bernstein

After a year spent trying to prevent a catastropic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tyson--a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any "normal" friends.

But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: The magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters--the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millenia--only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name...the Bermuda Triangle.

Now Percy and his friends--Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson--must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family--one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

Sophmoric

Rick Riordan's second book in the Olympus series is quite good, but is not as entertaining as the first book. However, much like JK Rowling, his second book seems to be a spring-board for upcoming books in the series: Events that transpire in book 2 will likely be relevant in later books in the series. I look forward to "The Titan's Curse".

Awesome

My favorite in the series and Rick Riordon sounds just like Persy I loved it and by the way where's my cookie from the Greek gods book.

half blood story

this book was so much better then the movies. can't wait to start next chapter

Great book, even better reader.

you all know how great the book is, but the vocal performance is simply amazing. it's so engaging, and entertaining I feel like I'm watching a movie! I really wish audible would allow Jesse to re do the heros of Olympus, I would re buy the books for that!

This is amazing

I don’t think I should say anything else get this book you won’t regret it
