Who new that the son of a Greek god would go to middle school! This is the first of Rick Riordians I’ve read. It didn’t sound like the sort of book I’d read but it was great!

Absolutely an awe-struck fantasy adventure. It's one of those rare breed of books that can not replace that feeling of the continuos dramatic pleasure and emotions nor can not be replaced. It's been a book that I have not recommended but begged people to read. You can not like it, never. It's a book that is always loved.

I used to think loads of books were amazing before I started on this series. But once I started I couldn't stop!!!!! This book has set my standard and I am now comparing every book I read to Percy Jackson.
