Kids say the book is a polarizing read, with some praising its epic storytelling, themes of heroism, and complexities of Greek mythology, while others criticize it for being overly mature, difficult to understand, and poorly taught in school. Many recommend it for older teens due to its violent and sensual themes but recognize it as a classic and essential part of literature.
