    2.5
    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:
    I wasn't really planning on trying to remedy my missing the Percy Jackson train, but some folks I know were doing a buddy read so I gave it a go. I get why it's a beloved series, and I definitely don't want to yuck any one's yum, but this book fell way short for me in the end. 

    Cons:
    -Fatphobia abounding. All characters that are depicted as fat are evil. Step father, bully at the camp, camp director, and a monster that attack later in the book are all heavily described via their fatness and it is entirely a negative thing. There are no positive depictions of fatness. (There are two non-speaking minor characters that are depicted as "plump" - due to their lack of a speaking role & proximity to a not good character I don't think they're offsetting anything.)
    -Just about every single plot point has lying, deception, or withholding somewhere in its origin. Between not explaining things or actively deceiving each other it's a little miraculous anything actually gets accomplished in this novel. 
    -Subpoint to the above: adults are to be trusted without question, but it is also adults that create the problems these children are now responsible for fixing. I am not a big fan of kids carrying the weight adults should be handling. 

    These two.5 issues are pretty weighty for me, particularly because this is a series of books directed at children. I don't have kids, but I wouldn't want them reading a series that codes fat as bad & solidly encourages deception & doesn't invite pushing back when an adult isn't making sense but is asking a lot of you.

    -Percy Jackson is 12 years old. That's too young for the things he does & for the writing to be convincing. 

    Pros:
    -Grover. All of him.
    -There is some clever use of Greek lore, and a few magical items that are dope.

    All in all, the biggest redeeming quality of this book is how quick it was to read. I don't think I'll read anything from the series.

    it’s so wild to me that leaving your child in the basement to play with a ouiji board was just ¯_(ツ)_/¯ to her mom 😂 like why are y’all playing with that anyway 😂😭

    Jesus 5 consecutive pages without a paragraph break is a record probably. Bateman really loves to talk

  • Spoilers in Comments

    I love that we’re able to discuss books here but I’ve found spoilers in a couple of the forums in very early percentage posts and it’s super frustrating. I specifically like to go into my books blind and was just spoiled on the ending for Monday’s Not Coming on a 3% comment. Same thing happened with some comments on the Stranger hinting at what would happen later in the book. I know it would be hard but I’m wondering if the forums need moderators?

    Of course, I can report the spoiler but that doesn’t stop me from having been spoiled.

    They didn’t find Tituba guilty of witchcraft because she was black and people believed back then that witches were only white… Squeezme??? That’s fucking racist! my girl Tituba could have been a marvelous witch if she wanted to! Like… Africans have voodoo, so I find the fact that Tituba was not a credible witch to be fucking disrespectful!☝🏼😤

    That’s all I’m going to say, about it. 🫢
