Review by Arvind

Two Stars- It’s Okay

This book is not recommended for people who like to read action novels. There is little to no action, as well as excessive detail and little to no peril to the main character. However, the author leaves behind subtle clues to hint at the theme (lesson about life) of the novel, that  arrogance and selfishness are the keys to failure.

This is a great book! I give it 4 Stars!

Percy Jackson finds out that he’s the son of a Greek God and has to save the world from war and ultimately destruction. At first Percy seems to be a real tough guy but he learns a lot about himself and the people in his life.  I can’t wait to read the next book by Rick Riordan in the series.
