I had no idea I had this book with me, and only read it because I knew the movie was coming out in February. After I read it, I wondered why I didn't read it before.
This book refers to Greek mythology a lot, so some knowledge of it is required to understand the book. Percy Jackson finds out he is a "half-blood" or "demigod", otherwise known as half human half god. He is the son of Poseiden. Realizing how dangerous he is, Percy is taken to "Camp Half-Blood" where all the other half gods are. He meets satyrs, naiads, and other mythological creatures in this camp and learns more about himself when he's granted a quest to retrieve Zeus' stolen lightning bolt, as he is the suspected thief. Percy goes on an adventure around the states with Annabeth, daughter of Athena, and Grover, a satyr.
He has only 10 days to finish his quest and solve the riddle of the "Oracle". Will he make it?
I know, it sounds stupid, right? I thought so, too when I read the back before I read the book, but then after I finished reading, I realized how good this book is! It's actually quite entertaining and makes you look at the world in a different way...4-5 stars!
