SummaryTwelve-year-old Percy Jackson is on the most dangerous quest of his life. With the help of a satyr and a daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction – Zeus’ master bolt. Along the way, he must face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop him. Most of all, he must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.

Afterthoughts
Greek mythology has always fascinated me and I love the way that Riordan has blended the ancient stories with a new one. Each mythological character is well-written and stays true to the historical character while also blending modern characteristics. The demigods powers and traits are also believable and consistent with mythology.
The story is pretty fast paced and keeps your attention. It's a great tool for learning about mythology and a great read, as well. Riordan's other books are also fun to read. I highly recommend it.
Warnings
None.
