Chapter Reviews (00:50:51)
- Sea of Monsters chapter 3 really said, “Fight for your life, Percy!”
- Annabeth was kinda mean this chapter. :(
- BUT it really is good character development, and that’s important, too.
- Too many Harry Potter references!
- What’s the difference between the Fates and the Gray Sisters?
- A little Night Bus, a little Hercules.
- Percy was feeling BRAVE in that taxi cab.
- Karen Googled the numbers.
- She also gets the best quotes/moments because she makes the doc.
- Chapter 4 has a really cool fight scene with some awesome creatures.
- It’s good that Percy stands up to Annabeth once in a while.
- Poor, Tyson!
- If we get a season 2, this is going to be an amazing opener.
- Everything has changed at Camp, and we don’t like it.
- Wait, how did Tyson’s clothes survive the fire?
