WOW! 
 : I don't know where to start. Ok here goes. 
 I have always adored Greek gods and goddesses yet I don't know much about any of them. I basically knew Zeus, Hades, Philoctetes, Hera, Hermes and Hercules in the Disney movie - Hercules; I knew Perseus, Poseidon, and Andromeda in the movie - Clash of the Titans - and that was about it. I didn't know there were so many gods... 
 I came to know about this book after I had already watched the movie. I've been told that the movie sucked and that the book was ten times better, you know, I actually liked the movie especially having Logan Lerman in it. Then I finished this novel and I was struck. YEP, the movie didn't do justice to the book AT ALL, but it was acceptable enough. 
 I loved how the author perceived a young boy's perspective clearly, never failing to make me laugh with witty yet humorous lines. It was a fast paced book; I just finished it in a day! 
 The story was compelling and gripping that you just can't put the book down. It has the perfect mixture of elements that keeps the readers interested and in the end, you just feel so good that you read the book. 
 Read this if you are a fan of adventure and fantasy!
