also as you continue through the book you'll find the actual plot (see the summary) and it's actually really exciting as it lands you into danger straight away... two GIGANTIC bronze bulls worth of trouble to be honest and it's just exhilarating to read as its just amazing to hear the demigods take on these magnificent creatures, also its actually a really cool storyline as you don't often see the bermuda triangle as a location within a book and also see cyclopses be the good guys, So it's nice to see yet another twist on mythology and fairytales.
I also like the way Riordans' characters have horrible past's (or future) which adds a good amount of backstory which also shows some awesome character development (Grover) and gives a good amount of character history making them really interesting.
Just one thing gets on my nerves... the fact that Percy is always trying to find a school or is often getting in trouble I know thats the main thing about demigods their scent attracts monsters.. But you know if he cant even survive a day in school without being killed then wouldn't it be better to home-school Percy? or couldn't it be set as soon as he gets to Half blood camp?
