Oh my god! I'm actually writing a popular book review! Does anyone who read book hasn't heard the name of Percy Jackson? (Even my dad knows what it is...) so if you don't know this book...don't call yourselves book lovers! I'll do a movie review along with the book review, so for those who are hesitated about the bad critical movie of Percy Jackson, look inside, and I'll tell you why you should watch it and why not. Let's start with the book! 
 I was interested in this book after I saw the introduction from the magazine... (Poor Taiwan students, we got a huge bag of books to study and with those extra works to do.) But even I hate those magazines; I must gratefully thanks that one, because I found one of the greatest series after I read Harry Potter. Yes, you heard me, Percy Jackson is as wonderful as Harry Potter. (Although Harry Potter will always be my all-time favorite, but...I can spare some love for Percy Jackson as well.) As you read from the summery, the main character was the son of Poseidon, god of sea. (And all those other things...horses, earthquake and blablabla) I fell in love with Greek mythology after I read the series and even made a project after the Greek mythology! (Crazy bookworm, huh?) The reason that this book was so great is because it's actually a modern demigod story. (I believe this is the first book about demigod? At least it is the first mythology-base fiction story I read.) The plots are entertaining, absolutely funny and well organized, you won't fell boring while reading this book, besides, you'll somehow gain a lot of knowledge when reading this book. Let's talk about the character! Oh my god I love Percy Jackson so much!!! He's so cute! (He's even better than Harry Potter...both hero, but Percy just seems more...likable.) He found out his true identity and faced it with a positive attitude, he was willing to sacrifice for his friends and family. (That's why I like him, a true friend/hero NEVER abandons his friend, and even Athena kept telling Percy that was his biggest shortage.) But I believe even a great hero don't have to give up his love to save the world, he just need wisdom to make all the things right. (Unfortunately...Percy is Seaweed Brain...so he need...) A novel won't be great without heroine! Let me introduce you...the fabulous, the beautiful, the smartest--Annabeth!!! (Cheer!) I find myself so much in common with her! We are both book lovers, smart (Don't mind...I'm pretty smart...some time.) And the biggest coincidence is we both want to become an architect!!! I believe the only difference between us is that she is a demigod and I'm not. (I won't tell you my physical strength is horrible...the only sport I am good at is swimming.) And another important character is Grover! He's not a human...kind of...he's a satyr! Half human half donkey...hey! (Sorry Grover, I know you're half human half goat.) I love the three of them, they help each other through difficulties and they were great partners. They were all courageous and faced challenge calmly.
