This book is not ussually the type of book I read but i did enjoy it. If you read the Percy Jackson series and liked those books i highly recommend reading this one. This book has a little of everything in it; comedy, romance, drama, and action. The only dislike i have is that this book is a little slow in the begging it takes a while before you get to the really action drama parts but when you do the book is very worth reading. The biggest theme in this book is friendship. The three have to stick together throughout the whole book and work together through thick and thin. Even though they might fight ant the end of the day they always can count on each other to be there.
