Michael’s Review :)
This book was surprisingly good. The author (Rick Riordan) shoves myth and modern in a blender on the high setting. It is the fantastic quest of a sixth grade boy who is half man and half god. The author reveals who his father (the god) is in chapter eight, so look for clues. (they are everywhere!) Young Percy Jackson sets off to stop a war among the gods and has to travel to the Underworld to speak with Hades. He fights many ferocious monsters from Greek mythology such as, The Minotaur, Medusa, and of course the well known Cerberus; the three headed guard dog of the Underworld. You wouldn’t ever guess where Olympus would be… on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building (not that many floors) And as for the Underworld? D.O.A. (Dead. Or. Alive.) recording studios in Los Angeles, California. But there is a major twist… So, overall I’d give this book a four out of five. The only reason it was not five out of five is because some things were a bit too obvious.
