I do not much like this book because even though it has monsters, half bloods, angry gods and deadlines, it has been written is such that it was very hard for me to visualize the story and it’s characters in my mind. Even though there is some great action and humour, yet for me the story does not leap off the pages and did not keep me interested. I won’t recommend this book very highly to modern mythical fiction lovers.

Percy Jackson thinks he is just an ordinary boy with no father. However, he soon finds out that he is actually the son of Poseidon. With the help of his friends Annabelle and Grover, Percy goes on an adventure where he tries to save his mum from the underworld and restore to Zeus his lightning bolt. This book is crammed with action and adventure. I have read it and watched the film- it is amazing!!!!!!!!
