Recommendation: This book is great for people who like fantasy. This is a book that shows how an ordinary kid can become something spectacular in just a few weeks. If you like greek mythology then this book is for you.

Summary: This story is about a kid named percy jackson. At the begining of the book percy is seen as a trouble maker. As the book progresses you find you that he is actually someone special. Percy Jackson is a son of one of the greek gods. Percy finnaly realizes that he is this gods son and is sent on a quest to find a lightning bolt that percy's dad supposedly stole from zues. Percy is trying to find this bolt and also get to the under world to save his mom who was killed by a beast. As he is trying to find his mom and this bolt he encounters many mythical creatures that he has to fight.

Explanation of rating: I gave this book three stars because I don't usually like fantasy or science fiction, but this book was pretty good for being a fantasy. One of the things I liked about this book is that you really get an image of whats going on. One of the things that bothers me about this book is that it is so predictable. I could predict just about anything that was about to happen and my prediction was usually right.
