The Sea of Monsters submitted by Smiles on June 18, 2011, 6:18pm Everything started at the game of dodgeball.

Mythology submitted by Smileyfrowns on July 17, 2011, 2:53pm An amazing book, showing what the Argonauts experienced, but with a modern twist.

Great! submitted by yujiehua on July 27, 2011, 12:12pm This book is about Percy Jackson trying to get the golden fleece so it could heal Thalia's tree.

Terrific submitted by Memoria1224 on July 28, 2011, 7:21pm This is a fantastic book!

GREAT GREEK submitted by ferdoble on August 2, 2011, 4:32pm WOW, what a great series. Very formulaic, but still very good, you’ll see what I mean. It made me want to go review my old ancient empire text books.

percy jackson submitted by sunitas on August 17, 2011, 7:33am this is a great series oveall rick starts of the series very well and ends it perfectly

exciting submitted by DoodleBob on June 16, 2012, 4:19pm Just as exciting and interesting as the first book was!

The Sea of Monsters submitted by leehannah on June 16, 2012, 8:53pm I read the first book and then I ended up reading the second book two times because of an assignment. I had no problem with that because I really enjoyed the series. Percy Jackson series made me feel like I was actually there, and a part of that group. If you like fantasy, this is definitely the type of book for you! (especially if you like Harry Potter.)

Awesome submitted by xjasx on June 16, 2012, 10:33pm Only the second book and I couldn't wait for the third book D< it was that good. Love it

Great! submitted by kbruey on June 29, 2012, 12:30pm Though my least favorite in the series, this book is still an amazing sequel. With lots of action, drama, and a touch of humor, this book is a great read.

great submitted by jangmikyoung on July 6, 2012, 9:09am this book was awesome. You should try this book if you love scary stories

The quest is epic submitted by songi on July 8, 2012, 4:00pm As I said, the quest is epic and makes u want to read the next book.

Harry Potter meets Greek mythos submitted by VickyB77 on July 9, 2012, 11:54am A great coming-of-age series about a modern-day demigod. If you liked Harry Potter, give Percy Jackson a chance!!

good book submitted by catlover123 on July 10, 2012, 12:26pm This book is very good. I recommend it.

Amazing submitted by vadnala on July 11, 2012, 4:08pm percy saves grover, fight polyphemus, take golden fleece, stop luke, see kronos, see thalia

My Favorite submitted by jmock on July 12, 2012, 12:50pm In my opinion, this book is the best of the series.

sea of monsters submitted by honordenver on July 18, 2012, 5:16pm percy jackson must rescue grover from a cyclops he meets tyson along the way

Cool submitted by phlapha on July 22, 2012, 12:25pm Greek people in the maze.

Fine submitted by Celeste Arruda on July 27, 2012, 9:22pm The story is good, but the author does a bad job of advancing the story.

#2 in the series. submitted by stkloves on August 7, 2012, 1:22pm I think this is a great addition to the series. I love the ending! This is an awesome series that most people should read

Not as good as others submitted by bookworm12345 on June 16, 2013, 4:42pm the sea of monsters is not as good as the other books but still rocks. this book is shorter than the others in the series

Good submitted by philiptv on June 19, 2013, 7:10am This was probably my least favorite book in the series. It was still good, but the others are better.

GREAT BOOK submitted by Filly on June 22, 2013, 2:28pm Good Book

awesome submitted by Berryak on June 23, 2013, 6:55pm recommended

best book submitted by FionaNgai on June 24, 2013, 4:18pm best book ever!!!

Good sequal but as good as 1rst submitted by xiwang on June 30, 2013, 5:13pm Although this book was not as good as the first one I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a good adventure!

Awesome submitted by michael007 on July 5, 2013, 5:18pm I love this awesome book!

Greek Mythology submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on July 23, 2013, 9:41pm Raised by a single mother, Percy struggles with school because of his dyslexia and ADHD. This makes the series one of the few positive portrayals of people with disabilities (particularly learning disabilities) in science fiction, especially as the dyslexia turns out to be due to his ability to read ancient Greek, and the ADHD an ability to sword fight.
The series is also a great way to get a new generation learning about ancient Greek mythology, including such Gods and Goddesses as Poseidon and Athena.

Great submitted by Katharina Geschner on July 30, 2013, 7:39pm I thought it was great.

saw the movie submitted by Franklin123 on August 27, 2013, 12:27pm great book and movie

it was epic submitted by aittaleb on June 25, 2014, 3:27pm it was one of the best books ever

Sea of Monsters submitted by SBNB on July 1, 2014, 8:53am It's not bad. I agree with the review who compared Percy Jackson to Harry Potter. There are definitely similarities (a kid finds out he's special, goes to a special school/camp, prophecy, etc). But in my opinion, these books aren't even close to as good as Harry Potter. The writing felt very cheesy.

great submitted by chioma on July 7, 2014, 6:22pm great

good book submitted by peterflorence on July 25, 2014, 11:47am This book is not as good as the other books but is still a good book. Percy is on a quest to save camp with Annabeth and Grover.

Hey submitted by Hsiao-Yun Hwang-Pang on August 17, 2014, 11:54am If u think Harry potter is cool well this will blow ur mind away

Okay submitted by jding00 on August 19, 2014, 8:35am This was an okay story, but I didn't like it as much as the other stories.

AWESOME submitted by kate uleman on June 12, 2015, 2:39pm percy jackson and annabeth are seting out to retrive the golden fleace to save camp half blood! But there adevncher takes quite a few twists and turns!

Great Book!! submitted by i'm a blobfish on June 13, 2015, 12:03pm So great for reading!

great submitted by ifechijie on June 16, 2015, 11:10am I like it

FAVORITE!!! submitted by unknown on June 22, 2015, 2:03pm I AM NOW TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH PERCY JACKSON!!!

Nothing like IT. book #2 submitted by monet tiedemann on July 28, 2015, 2:40pm I like this one because Percy Jackson knows that he is going to head back to Camp Half-Blood. And I like IT.

Cyclops submitted by Alex Hannah on June 21, 2016, 2:57pm Tyson the cyclops is a kind friend to Percy Jackson.

COOL submitted by Junie on June 28, 2016, 11:32am This book was awesome!

Reccommend!! submitted by readingqueen76 on July 15, 2016, 2:11pm I TOTALLY recommend this book. Its really good.

pure awsomeness submitted by changlin73 on July 20, 2016, 1:24pm after reading this, Harry Potter meant nothing

SUPER COOL! submitted by ianchung0128 on June 17, 2017, 5:19pm great!

awesome submitted by Margaret Florence on June 21, 2017, 5:31am I really like the cover drawing

Great Book submitted by hannahjosh on July 12, 2018, 7:08am In this book Chiron gets fired and is replaced by Tantalus. Someone poisoned Thalia's pine tree! Instead of Percy Jackson looking for the golden fleece it's Clarisse! Well, Percy goes anyway. What they don't know is that the same cyclops has Grover too. What will happen? It's time you find out by reading the book!

Good submitted by Bigal2212 on August 22, 2018, 1:50pm Amazing book in the series

Great addition to the series! submitted by Xris on August 27, 2018, 10:54pm It's not quite as fast paced as the first book, but it introduces you to some more Greek mythology while Percy continues to learn what it means to be a half blood. It would be cool to be able to go to Camp Half Blood!

Great submitted by Claireywang on August 29, 2018, 8:06pm I generally think the first book in a series is always the best, but this was definitely an exception.

A Great Sequel submitted by AccountJD on June 15, 2019, 5:58pm Sequels are rarely as good as the originals, but this one is truly incredible.

Nice book! submitted by wookeny on June 19, 2019, 8:54am There is a lot of good Percy Jackson books, but so far this is the best book so far! Very adventurous!!!

Sea of Monsters submitted by c_zhang on June 21, 2019, 1:27am Pretty good book overall! Not as fast paced as the first one, but is more in depth.

love this book! submitted by Annabeth4 on June 27, 2019, 8:25pm I don't remember the whole book, but it was funny and the plot line was interesting. I love this series so freaking much.

it was really good submitted by rawan on June 28, 2019, 12:57pm i loved the sea of monsters, it had a lot of action and it went at a slower pace than the lightning theif.

Great submitted by shivatavane on July 1, 2019, 5:35pm It is a okay story for good and evil.

great submitted by kjshaffer on July 13, 2019, 8:43pm i liked the sheep..

ehhh submitted by zora on July 16, 2019, 5:07pm This book was the most forgettable out of the entire series.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians. The sea of Monsters submitted by Varshini on July 26, 2019, 11:46am A great sequel to The Lightning Thief! I loved this series in 3rd grade.

Good book submitted by jasonc1177 on July 31, 2019, 7:37pm This is an amazing book, everyone should read it!

Great submitted by sydcha on August 4, 2019, 1:43pm My second favorite book in this series, it’s a sequel that does a good job building on the first book. I enjoyed the characters and the mythology aspect makes it even more interesting.

Sea of Monsters submitted by motherof3 on June 17, 2020, 9:03pm This is a great book with a great plot

An ok sequel submitted by Nay7 on August 15, 2020, 10:53pm I enjoyed the third book more, but the second one has a LOT of world building for the rest of the series

I LOVE THIS SERIES submitted by sophiaszh on July 12, 2021, 11:21am So adventurous and exciting!! recommend the entire series!!

Fun way to introduce mythology submitted by pratibhamahesh on July 7, 2023, 12:16am The Percy Jackson series is a very goof way to introduce Greek mythology to kids. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them.

Fantastic Series submitted by melissa4b on July 9, 2023, 8:24am Love all of these books.

Great submitted by sumisood on July 14, 2023, 9:58pm Not better than the first, but pretty good in its own way.

Excellent follow up to The Lightening Thief submitted by ShelbyEJohnson on August 23, 2023, 1:45pm Percy and friends continue to delight in this second book of the series. Well known Greek stories of the Golden Fleece and the Odyssey are re-imagined in a fun and modern way that makes it engaging for all ages. I highly recommend the entire series.
