My Opinion My opinion of this book is that I actually liked it more than the movie so it was pretty good. This book reminded me of some characters in Harry Potter like Harry who found out he was a wizard just like Percy who found out he was a demi-god, Ron Weasley who would help Harry no matter what which is exactly whay Grover would do for Percy, and Hermione who is the smartest on in the group like Annabeth.
