“ "I prayed to Daddy for help. Soon the people at Meriwether found me. Met you. Biggest blessing ever. 

Sorry I said Poseidon was mean. He sent me a brother."”

“"He sent you to help me. Just what I asked for." 

I blinked. "You asked Poseidon for . . . me?" 

“The last thing I remembered was sinking in a burning sea, knowing that Tyson was gone forever, and wishing I were able to drown.”

“But whenever Annabeth talked about the time she’d spent with them, I kind of felt . . . I don’t know. Uncomfortable? 

“My mom hoped I would inherit Perseus’s luck. Judging by how my life was going so far, I wasn’t real optimistic.”

“Well . . . because he had rotten luck. Even worse than mine. It makes me feel better.”

“Europa fell off and died along the way, but that’s not important.” 

“Any killing will result in harsh punishment. No s’mores at the campfire for a week! ”

“Now I know,” Tantalus continued, raising his voice, “that these races were discontinued some years ago due to, ah, technical problems.” 

“Three deaths and twenty-six mutilations,” someone at the Apollo table called.”

“The bull must’ve been as surprised as I was, because before it could unleash a second blast, Tyson balled his fists and slammed them into the bull’s face. “BAD COW!”

“I was pretty much his only friend, which meant he was my only friend.”

same old Percy and his little silly jokes 

“They just dissipate into smoke and dust, which saves heroes a lot of trouble cleaning up after a fight.”

He thinks I’m a lady Cyclops and he wants to marry me!

"Lovely, aren't you? Men are pigs, Percy Jackson. I used to turn them into real pigs, but they were so smelly and large and difficult to keep. Not much different than they were before, really.“

“Powdered donuts,” Tyson said earnestly. “I will look for powdered donuts in the wilderness.” He headed outside and started calling, “Here, donuts!”

Demi-god Percy Jackson and his friends must journey into the Sea of Monsters to save their camp. But first Percy will discover a secret that makes him wonder whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or a cruel joke.

Someone

Don't you ever feel that way? Like you could do a better job if you rqan the world?'

'Um... no. Me running the world would be kind of a nightmare.

Hubris means deadly pride, Percy. Thinking you can do things better than anyone else... Even the gods.

You weren't able to talk sense into him?"

Well, we kind of tried to kill each other in a duel to the death."

The real story of the Fleece: there were these two children of Zeus, Cadmus and Europa, okay? They were about to get offered up as human sacrifices, when they prayed to Zeus to save them. So Zeus sent this magical flying ram with golden wool, which picked them up in Greece and carried them all the way to Colchis in Asia Minor. Well, actually it carried Cadmus. Europa fell off and died along the way, but that's not important."

Percy Jackson, the young demi-god, is back for his second exciting adventure in the bestselling series by Rick Riordan. You can't tell by looking at me that my dad is Poseidon, God of the Sea. It's not easy being a half-blood these days. You mortals can't even see the monsters we have to fight all the time. So when a game of dodgeball turned into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, I couldn't exactly ask my gym teacher for help. And that was just for starters. This is the one where Camp Half Blood is under attack, and unless I get my hands on the Golden Fleece, the whole camp will be invaded by monsters. Big ones. Can Percy survive the treacherous Sea of Monsters and restore order to Half-Blood Hill?

Kiran Aftab

She’s alive!!! LMAO JK. I really liked Percy and Tyson’s growth together. Annabeth and Percy’s relationship also makes my heart swell.

ploral

I enjoyed this book a bit more than the first one, but again did feel like they did spell out major things for each event in the book. But I know this is a kids book - so again enjoyed for what it was!

I’m convinced that Rick Riordan is a secret comedian. The stand-up worthy bits in this… I’m just praying they’re written into S2.

** spoiler alert **
           For a book that is aimed at a much younger audience than me, I found it really funny. The situations and characters in this book are hilariously strange and Rick Riordan’s way of merging Greek mythology with the modern world made me laugh out loud in several places. 

I mean C.C’s spa, Percy not realising that Tyson is a Cyclops because he doesn’t look him in his face and Monster Doughnuts.... why weren’t these books out when I was 11-12?

For some reason, this book was subtly boring than the rest of the books in the series. It took me a longer time to read it.

Nanthanat Chompradist

I was totally hooked from beginning to end. This book has no boring bits. Super enjoyable read👏🏻

(I want to give Tyson a big big hug. He is such a baby🤏🏻👼🏻)

After reading this, I felt like I liked it more than the first book honestly. This book was, again, lighthearted, action-packed, and super nostalgic. I did not read this one when I was a kid but I definitely wish I would have because I think that it would have set me up to read so many more books as a child. In this one, we are introduced to Tyson and we are on a mission to save Grover on his quest to find Pan. This book is set mostly in the ocean and on cliff sides as Percy, Annabeth, and a couple others attempt to navigate the treacherous waters and the gods along the way. Definitely read this book as it is a great continuation of the first and will set you up for a long-term investment in the series.

Im just rereading the whole series due to the disney show, Percy Jackson will always be a masterpiece to me. Uncle Ricks writing is just top tier 🤌🏻 Even if im a whole ass adult now, the books never disappoint and are as entertaining as ever.

Non-stop action

No doubt this is quite an entertaining book - there's a rollercoaster of constant action and I've got a lot of time for the ancient Greek mythology. However, it is very simple and doesn't feel quite as re-read able as the Harry Potter's as an adult.

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan is a retelling of the Odyssey and continues the story arc begun in The Lightning Thief. This time Clarissa is sent on the official Camp Half Blood quest but Percy and his friends though have their own agenda, namely to save Grover.

I'm going to let you in on a secret. My favorite character isn't Percy or any of the other Camp Half Blood heroes. Nope. My favorite character who shows up in The Sea of Monsters for the first time is Tyson, the young cyclops.

Tyson brings humanity to the other side of the Gods' infidelities. Gods have children who are gods, demigods and (yes) monsters. The Gods aren't fair or just parents; they show favoritism and they ignore others. Tyson like most monsters is cast aside, growing up on the fringes of human society. He's a rare one though in that he gets a second chance, being befriended by Percy and therefore brought into favor with Poseidon.

The book begins with Percy and Tyson being friends. Percy's aware that Tyson isn't quite normal but he figures it's because he's a homeless kid and just hasn't had the same support other kids have had. Later, of course, he has to rethink the friendship when he learns that Tyson is a very young cyclops and therefore a monster and a half brother.

Two factors made me love Tyson from the get-go. The first is his eager, toddler approach to things. From how he acts he seems about the same age (or cyclops equivalent) as my daughter. So there's a motherly connection.

My second bonding point comes from Percy's sudden realization that he's a big brother. I was only child until I was seven. My brother was born three weeks before my birthday. So that birthday just felt ruined by everyone cooing over the baby. It took a long time for me to adjust to being a sister and to finally warm to and ultimately love my sibling.

When Camp Half-Blood, the only safe haven for demigods, nears the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters, Percy and his friends must venture to find his best friend Grover.

passei o livro inteiro com medo do tyson morrer mas ele tá vivo amém

Athiril Ard

tulis sekarang aja deh, dari pada lupa entar kalo ditunda-tunda wkwk

di awal-awal, jujur aja, boring banget bacanya. sempet kepikiran buat DNF aja deh. hampir setengah buku lebih maksa buat terus baca dan terus

nahh, di setengah akhir ini, tapi kayanya pas bagian Polyme-pokoknya-monster-dajjal yang itu, baru deh keseruannya nongol

penyelamatan Grover kerasa ngeri, merinding, tapi bikin ngakak. ga tau deh, Uncle Rick bener-bener kelewatan bisa nyampurin ketiga hal itu jadi satu.

dan di ending, aku ngakak bagian Martha dan George

mereka kopel yang soswit

The Sea Of Monsters

9/10

akhirnya nemu kopel terbaik yang non-manusia: George dan Martha
