Summary: Percy Jackson's life changed when he found out that he was being hunted my mythological creatures. He soon finds out that his best friend is a satyr and his teacher is a centaur. Above all this he finds out that he is a son of Poseidon and is being accused of stealing Zeus's master lightning bolt. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover embark on an adventure that will lead Percy and his friends to the depths of the underworld and even to Mount Olympus. Also I like how Rick Riordan mixed mythology with modern time.Best part: The part that surprised me was when it was reviled that Luke was the one that stole the master lightning bolt. To think that a fellow camper stole the lightning bolt and kept it hidden without Zeus knowing is impressive. Also I found it amusing how the lightning bolt was just sitting on Zeus's throne, its as if he wanted it to be stolen.
Worst part: I think the worst part about the book is that Luke was the person that stole the lightning bolt. When I first read the book, Luke was probably the last person on my list that could have stolen the lightning bolt. Also it shocked me when Hades found the lightning bolt in Percy's backpack.
My opinion: Overall the book was enjoyable and kept me on my feet the entire time. I like the fact that it mixes modern time with past time. There are many twists and turns through out the book, making it an fun and exciting experience. I would rate it a 10/10.
