Riordan uses humor and irony to give the book a funny side which draws many readers to his works.This book receives a four out of five stars for the interesting plot and the intriguing characters.

He did a really good job explaining the story and how and why things happened, and he did not give the ending away. The review was very good but the themes were hard to find

This review was put together very well and looks as though a lot of time and effort was put into the writing. The way the themes were arranged were well placed. A little more emotion could be shown through the summary of the book could have made it even better.
