Like most kids, I went through a phase in which I read everything about Greek mythology. Had I read this book during that phase, I probably would have loved it. As I am today, it was okay.The adventure was decent. The writing was okay (though the moments Percy slipped into present tense were jarring...
Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon and finds out he's a demi-god or a half blood when his teacher Mrs Dodds tries to kill him in a museum.

3 stars - liked it. Just revisiting memories! And yes, I did like it, but it wasn't love. Hence the three star rating. But I'm sure - and I remember - that the series gets better, so I'm definitely reading the rest of the sequels.
