i now officially am at the bit i fully remember from this book and i’m so hype to finish it again and get to book two again!!

this is my third time reading this book and i STILL forgot about the twist of where the lightning bolt was!

the lotus casino stuff is so wild, and both the movie and the show got it all weird. the movie is just straight up kids doing drugs, and the show makes the lotus casino bits feel soooo drawn-out.

hilarious that Rick didn’t realize the Mississippi River wasn’t below the arch lmao, and also funny little geography/infrastructure inaccuracy, he said Percy and co. were gonna hop on a train from St Louis, Missouri to Denver, Colorado, but there are no direct train lines from St Louis to Denver. they’d have to go from St Louis to Chicago, then get on another train to Denver. but no biggie though lmao

i always forget about percy mailing medusa’s head to mount olympus LMFAO

not me getting almost halfway through this before i have to go to work LMAO i love this book so much

god this book is SO iconic

decided i needed a break from the absolute insanity of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and i got my hands on the original hardcovers of this series recently so i’ve been itching to finally finish reading these books. i figure now’s as good of a time as ever!!

Ok so Percy kicks absolute ass

THAT. WAS. SO. COOL. HOLY. SHIT.
