Publisher's summary

After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic 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.

Critic reviews

"Adventure follows chaotic adventure at a rapid pace, and readers with even a passing acquaintance with the Odyssey will enjoy this fresh use of familiar stories." (School Library Journal)

The Sea of Monsters

I loved this book! After previously reading "The Lightning Thief" book #1 of the series I knew I had to go to the next book. I chose my five star rating because I believe the story and the tales of Percy and his friends are amazing. I would refer this book to anyone who wanted a good read and wanted to start a new series of books just like me.

I've been reading this series since I was 14! (22)

Do you like a book series with myths, action, adventure, comedy and romance? About Teenage Heroes and their progress over their Years of Adventures!? Well then there isn't a better book series to get into then the Percy Jackson series. The First 5 books "Percy Jackson and the Olympians," is a fantastic Series in itself. BUT then is expanded In "The Blood of Olympus" book's 6-10.Where you meet new main characters and the ones you already know are tested even further with them.
Although Percy and Annabeth's Trials End there, Percy is called upon to help Apollo and the "Trials of Apollo" Series and Annabeth Searches for a lost Cousin in the "Magnus Chase and the God's of Asgard" Series.

So in the end, if Your looking A Vast series of books About the trials and tribulations of Teenage Heros, Then won't find a Better Seires to invest your time into!!!

Exciting story, good moral

I liked the part when Percy was alongside Titan trying to defeat Polyphemus. Also the part when the party ponies came.

Blew me away!

I saw the movie percy jackson and the lightning thief before i read the book.THE BOOK IS WAY BETTER!! After reading the book, i was hooked. I am 20 and love listening to this series. I am into greek mythology and love the spin on the greek stories, yet pretty accurate. It's an amazing book and since college gets in the way of reading an actual book, i love listening to the story on my ipod. i recommend it.

Not big fan of the narrator

The narrator does a decent job of getting the story across to us uhh a clear manner but at times i feel the emotion isn't there. People will just yell words but afterwords you realize there were words that should have brb emphasized to get to the characters true emotion and feeling. Other than that it's great

Very good book and performance.

This is a great story builder. I appreciate how the amount of possibilities that stem from this. Keep the third book close when reading this one because you'll want to jump right into it.

A Classic!

This is like my third re-listen. I almost cried a few times to Tyson, Poseidon, and Sally's love for Percy. I'll never get tired of Jesse's voice and Rick's writing! 😁✨🤤
