I enjoyed the book and love Greek Mythology. I ran out and acquired all the books in succession and then passed them through my friend and her two kids before reclaiming and re-reading them a second time. I am glad you enjoy them too. I guess it is a bit far fetched. hadn’t thought about it.

Most fantasy is far-fetched, that’s half the fun in reading them! I’ve seen a few parents with this one in hand lately, my own daughter discovered it through a bowling buddie’s mom. Neither of us have seen the movie … have you?

I really enjoyed this book though I haven’t picked up book 2 yet. Maybe I’ll get it in time for the upcoming read-athon.

I agree with you … I wish this type of book had been around when I was a kid.

I could not agree more with your reasoning behind the story being a bit far-fetched. And still I just loved the series. YAL and Greek gods? Love it! I hope you enjoy the rest of the books.

I wish this book had been around when I was a kid too. I was addicted to Greek mythology, and once a year, when StarLab came to our elementary school, my teachers would get me to tell everyone stories about the constellations. I loved the Andromeda story.

Your review made me laugh! I love how Riordan incorporates Greek mythology into the series. Hope you’re enjoying the Sea of Monsters!

I also enjoyed the book, and will read book 2 when my daughter acquires it. As mother to said 11 year old, I’m really with you on the age thing. I’d even be willing to suspend disbelief for 14. I do think the movie’s choice of aging the kids was a good one.
