I like replaying old conversations in my head. One of those were with a teacher who asked me if I dared to read a book through the entire lecture;), why did I stop reading at almost the end?
Answer: Because, I save the end until I am ready to write the review. That helps me write a much better review.
There’s truly something different about the reviews I write that way.
"I just finished reading Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters and here’s what I think about this book."
Plot
In the book, the camp half-blood is being attacked by all kinds of monsters. There’s only one way to stop those attacks, and it’s to find a fleece that was lost centuries ago. There are more monsters, more traps and an underlying master plan of the evil God working in the book.
The book begins with the very familiar guy(Percy) telling you about his life after his first year at summer camp and the adventure. Then there are some new characters in the book – some good and some awful. There are also the old characters which you would want to see again, and then there are characters which you wished met a worse end than they did in the last book.
Characters
The characters in Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters are better described than the first book. You get to connect much better with the old characters as well. The new characters are equally interesting and well-formed. The book scores better than the last one.
Overall Review.
The plot is even better. There are elements of mystery in the plot. A lot of things are going on, and there are too many questions, too many hints to think over. It all makes this book a lot interesting than the previous one. As a standalone as well, it’s a great read.
I would recommend that you read this book, even if you have skipped the first one(go ahead and watch the movie to know more about the story before you dive into the book or read it right away). It’s a good read and will definitely entertain you for the weekend.
