How many books is that completed in the last week for me now? Three? I'm on a roll ha! Books > Studying ;D 
 I don't see how I never got into this series before! It 's right up my alley for sure. Percy Jackson is the son of a God and is sent on a quest. His quest is meant to keep the Gods from going at war with each other, and Percy will stop at nothing to make sure this quest is completed. He makes friends and foes (of course) along the way. 
 The book kept me so engaged the entire time and really on my elbows (not feet b/c I'm reading of course). I was really taken away by the greek mythology of the book. Greek mythology is something that has always been something of great interest to me! There's so many God's that at times I get a little overwhelmed but this book did a great job at keeping me entertained and understanding. It was a cross between Harry Potty (2 boy main characters and a female) and The Mortal Instrument series (which I didn't care much for). Now don't get me wrong though it isn't in anyway a HP rip off because this focuses on greek mythology and God's in comparison to magic. 
 The Characters/ were amazing and so well written! From the God's, Clarisse, Bobofit, and the lion in the age. Every character in the book had so much meaning and character understanding/development. My speculation to who the friend who turns would be was wrong (I'm usually not right though ha). I feel as though Percy could've done a little bit better as a demigod (and specially the demigod of freaking (view spoiler)[Poseidon (hide spoiler)]!) I have to keep in mind though that he wasn't at Camp Half Blood very long , and I'm hoping he'll redeem himself to be stronger in the next 4 books ha. 
 Super easy and fun read :)
