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?
