I honestly expected more from Rick Riordan. This book felt rushed... As though Riordan spent a good long time writing the first book and about six months writing this one. I still would recommend this book, but with a warning of "lower your expectations, then lower them again, and cleave that in half, and still don't expect much more than words bridging book 1 to book 3".

Learning all about the Roman camp and how it differs from Camp Half-Blood was probably the best part of the book. I just can't pinpoint a particular reason why this book wasn't as good as the first one. It's still a good read though, and worth sifting through to get to the next one!

am i the only one that thinks these books are stupid!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!??!?!??!?!!........? well am I!!!!!!???????!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!

Good book aside from two things: One, having not read book one for a while, I found the story to be quite confusing for the first while, until questions began to be answered. Secondly, *minor spoilers* it drove me up the WALL that the creatures that were repeatedly called "cannibals" were after human flesh - cannibalism means to eat the flesh of your OWN species, not human flesh specifically. If they were cannibals, they wouldn't be eating humans! It irks me that this was overlooked by the author and editors.

"What are these guys?" he (Frank) whispered. "Canadians," Percy said. Frank leaned away from him. "Excuse me?" "Uh, no offence," Percy said. "That's what Annabeth called them when I fought them before. She said they live in the north, in Canada." "Yeah, well," Frank grumbled, "we're in Canada, I'm Canadian. But I've never seen one of those things before." - Frank Zhang and Percy Jackson. XXXIII, FRANK

The snake-haired ladies were starting to annoy Percy. The should have died three days ago when he dropped a crate of bowling balls on them at the Napa BaTrgain Market. They should have died when he ran over them with a police car in Martinez. They definitely should have died when he cut off their heads in Tilden Park. No matter how many times Percy killed them and watched them crumble to powder, they just kept reforming like large evil dust bunnies.

"She (Hazel) put her hand between the bars, and Arion gingerly ate the chunk of gold from her palm. "Unbelievable," Kinzie said. "The last girl who tried that-" "Now has a metal arm," the queen finished.

“You speak horse?" Hazel asked. "Speaking to horses is a Poseidon thing," Percy said. "Uh, I mean a Neptune thing." "Then you and Arion should get along fine," Hazel said. "He's a son of Neptune too." Percy turned pale. "Excuse me?”

They sped by a pack of sea lions lounging on the docks, and she swore she saw an old homeless guy sitting among them. From across the water the old man pointed a bony finger at Percy and mouthed something like 'Don't even think about it.' Who here remembers Nereus, the old man of the sea? from the itans curse!
