Well Camp Halfblood is certainly going to Styx, isn’t it? Hades convicts on work release, constant monster attacks, and a loss of appetite for pizza! All this and more in the fifth part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…
Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters – Ch 4
Well that’s a lotta bull! Join me to learn what’s behind that terrible pun (for which I refuse to apologize) in the fourth part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters, also known as…

Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters – Ch 3
Hailing taxis of eternal torment, or even temporary torment, sounds like a bad idea to me. But I shouldn’t be so judgmental. So, on we go with the third chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…
We Hail the Taxi of Eternal Torment
Okay, so this was actually a pretty quick chapter. We (i.e., me, but I like to imagine we’re all in this together) get a quick bit of rudeness from Annabeth, a wild taxi ride courtesy of the mythical Grey Sisters, and faster than you can say “don’t touch that eye, you don’t know where it’s been,” we’re back at Camp Halfblood.
And it’s under attack. [Read more…]

Michael Reads Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters – Starting Point
So having finished (and, of course, enjoyed) Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief, I’m ready to plunge ahead into book two of the Percy Jackson series: The Sea of Monsters! Thank you to those of you who’ve told me how much you liked my posts on TLT. I can’t wait to start in on this one! [Read more…]
Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief (Final Thoughts)
