Percy Jackson's 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 Percy's 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. On few pages I realized, the story was moving fast. Or is it just my thought? And it was like reading narrative story. But, after several chapters, it is getting interesting.
Riordan mix Greek mythologies with a little science. The Sea of Monsters where Polyphemus, the Cyclopes lives and the origin is on Mediterranean, now is on Bermuda Triangle. Genious trick to show us the mystic about Bermuda and Polyphemus’ habit: anything comes around Bermuda is missing because Polyphemus eats them.
Sorry for you guys, who haven’t read this book yet. A liitle spoiler: the climax is not too tempting. I can’t feel the up and down. The adventure to the Sea of Monsters is plain and have just a few thrilling parts. But the best part is the ending. Riordan gave us a surprise!
