As much as an avid reader I am, I have never come across a book so gripping (other than Harry Potter of course). But still, it's one heck of a book. I mean seriously, how many books have you read that are as good as this one? Well let me make it a bit clearer to you.
Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old kid who lives in New York and goes to boarding school, always has problems. Trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes and he doesnt know that it's because that he is the son of one the Olympian gods (Ancient Greek gods like Zeus and his dudes). He is a demigod (one of his parents is human and the other is god) and monsters target demigods to feast on. Unfortunately, Percy learns this the hard way after battling his undercover math teacher who turns out to be a monster. After going to the only sanctuary on earth for demigods where no monsters are allowed, Percy has to train to become a true hero and stop a war waging between the gods.
The story takes place in modern-time America and brings ancient Greek culture to our daily lives. That's what makes the book so darn good. It's funny, amuzing, interesting and all the good adjectives you would use to describe a book. It's a definate 2 thumbs up and anyone who reads this post should read it 'cause you'll never regret it.
p.s. The first book of the series is The Lightening Theif. Just so you know.
