This was the book that turned me into a Percy Jackson fan. The book introduces readers to the world of gods and Greek mythology, as well as showing how they tie to the lives of Perseus Jackson a 12 year old troubled child living in Manhattan. The story is excellently written and is shown from the Percy's point of view It shows the struggles he has had to face as a demigod for his whole life. The book teaches readers about Greek Mythology and how it has been around for thousands of years. The book shows the adventures demigods would have to do for god's bidding, and how certain gods can be very treacherous and deceitful. The book shows the importance of friends and how friends can betray you at any instance. There are many memorable moments established in this book, one of these moments is Percy defeating the Minotaur as he first arrives at camp Half Blood. This book was able to appeal to me because I was interested by the fact that Percy had been living life like a normal human for the majority of his life, I loved reading about Percy's transition from a lonely troubled child to a monster killing hero. My personal favorite moment from this book was when Percy is told about his origins and his ties to the gods, for me I really enjoyed Percy's reaction to this news. If I had to give this book a rating out of ten I would certainly give it no less than a 9. If you are looking for a children's fantasy book, than your search is over. Once you read this book you will want to read the rest of the series.
