I love Greek Myths and the Percy Jackson series. I have read all of the books except for this one. I love large books and I am fresh out of reading material. The author is amazing at writing adventure stories. I didn't really understand the Greek Myths and I wasn't very keen about reading his stories before I read them, but when I read his fantastic series all the greeks myths got a modern edge. I thought it was a fabulous idea to present older stories in ways that children would understand. Therefore, the Percy Jackson (and Heroes of Olympus) series are one of the the BEST series I have ever read.
