Product Description:
Percy Jacksons seventh-grade year has been surprisingly quiet. Not a single monster has set foot on his New York prep-school campus. But when an innocent game of dodgeball among Percy and his classmates turns into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, things get . . . well, ugly. And the unexpected arrival of Percys friend Annabeth brings more bad news: the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and unless a cure is found, the only safe haven for demigods will be destroyed.
In this fresh, funny, and hugely anticipated follow up to The Lightning Thief, Percy and his friends must journey into the Sea of Monsters to save their beloved camp. But first, Percy will discover a stunning new secret about his family -- one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidons son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

Rating: - good, but could be better.
I just want to say that I was a little disappointed. To me itwas to short. I wanted lots of excitment like the fist one, but it was so short that it didn't have enough. I still like it though. Even though it was short I still recomend that people read it beacuase it still is an important peice of the series.

Rating: - United States of America = Ancient Greece
I didn't know if this sequel to "The Lightning Thief" would be equal or better than the original. But as soon as I finished it, I was quite satisfied. I would say that "The Sea of Monsters" is a notch below to "The Lightning Thief", but it's not that bad, really. The book is shorter, but the pace is faster and the humor is more quick-witted. The adventures are just as interesting: the kids will certainly get a kick of the encounters of Scylla and Charybdis. The character Percy doesn't seem to develop until ... Read More

- Pretty Good
The Sea of Monsters is a good read and a fair sequel to The Lightning Thief, with a similar tone and new territory.
Negatives:
-The narrative is sometimes distractingly pretend-colloquial.
-The plot feels, generally, more contrived than the first book. It is very clearly a sequel(in the not-very-good sense), and draws plot points directly from The Odyssey. It's not a bad thing, necessarily, but it's obvious that the author himself didn't have to make up as much in this book.
