What if the gods of Olympus were alive in the 21st Century? What if they still fell in love with mortals and had children who might become great heroes -- like Theseus, Jason and Hercules? What if you were one of those children?
Such is the discovery that launches twelve-year-old Percy Jackson on the most dangerous quest of his life. With the help of a satyr and a daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction – Zeus’ master bolt. Along the way, he must face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop him. Most of all, he must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.
Reading this book is like reading Greek mythology in a new way. Many gods, mythical creatures, architectures, art things. They’re all very, very interesting and fascinating. Although, the story is not pure legend we all know. Mythology story plus imagination equal to awesome story.So far, we found dragons, wizards and magical things, vampires and werewolves. Here, we met Zeus with shirt, Cerberus which loves playing red balls, demigods on competition as we seen on school festival’s competition.
Percy’s adventures are full of thrill and suspense. We cannot know when gods and mythical creatures showed up or attack Percy and what connection are made between our hero and them. It’s successfully made me hold my breath.
It’s worth enough to read, like Harry Potter in different dimension or era.
