BOOK REVIEW
Title: Percy Jackson & the
Olympians: The Sea of Monsters
Author: Rick Riordan
The
enthralling sequel to the bestselling novel ‘The Lightning Thief’, ‘The Sea of
Monsters’ is a fantasy novel based on mythological creatures and Greek gods. It
continues the adventures of the daring Percy Jackson. In Percy’s second year at
Camp Half-Blood, events take a sinister turn when the pine tree which protects
the borders of Camp Half-Blood from blood thirsty monsters is poisoned by Luke.
The only thing which can save the tree and the camp is ‘The Golden Fleece’,
which is protected by the Cyclops, Polyphemus in the Sea of Monsters which
humans call, The Bermuda Triangle.
The news of Percy’s best friend Grover being
kidnapped by Polyphemus and the sudden arrival of his lost Cyclops brother,
Tyson adds to the problems. Teaming up with Annabeth, another camper and Tyson,
Percy must go on a quest to the deadly Sea of Monsters and save both the Golden
Fleece and Grover. But things will not be very easy as Luke and the other evil
enemies will do their best to stop Percy and his friends from getting the quest
fulfilled. Percy and the others have to believe in their parents, who are Greek
gods to help them on this threatening journey.
This book
will impress the people who read fantasy books just as it impressed me. The
captivating plot of the novel and the thrilling adventures of Percy caused the
story to be made into a movie which was a source of attraction for people all
around the world.
