Review Detail

Reader reviewed by co-chan


Percy Jackson has always had problems at school. The doctors diagnosed him with ADHD and dyslexia, the main reasons why he is kicked out of every school he ever goes to. But Percy's Latin teacher, a.k.a. Chiron, the centaur, has another explanation: Percy is a demi-god. And the son of none other than the sea god, Poseidon.

The book is very funny and easy to read. Once again I think it would appeal more to middle-school boys though anyone can enjoy the book.

Riordan is very creative and original with all the Olympian gods. The characters are nicely developed and flawed, making them very much human (or demi-godish, whatever). I read this book in one sitting.
