The Sea of Monsters

I finally got around to reading the 2nd book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and loved it almost as much as the first one.  The adventure was even more exciting and left me wanting to read more about Percy's adventures of being the son of a god.  This series is one that really made learning Greek Mythology fun, something I had never even thought of before.  I find it much easier to remember facts if they are presented in the format of a story (especially dates and names) because I get to have something to remember them by. As Percy journeyed into the Sea of Monsters I felt like I was right there with him on his quest for the golden fleece.  I think that everyone should check out these books because they are always interesting and would be enjoyed by kids and adults of all ages.
