Percy Jackson is a book that I'm struggling to rate because I loved it I did but also I felt a bit unimpressed while being impressed while being a bit old? Okay this review has gotten off to a rocky start. 
 Percy Jackson is a middle grade staring Percy a boy who has been to 6 schools in 6 years and is always getting in trouble or really trouble is always finding him. From evil math teachers to hell hound and centaurs there is so much mythology I could explode with pleasure. 
 I LOVED all the mythology, all the Greek gods, all the monsters it was just awesome to read about and learn about these creatures and there relation to each other. 
 Percy gets expelled from school once again and discovers why all these things keep happening to him, he's a Demi god, a half human half Greek god. His Dad is Poseidon God of the Sea and he's going to camp Half Blood. Camp Half Blood is a summer camp for well half blood humans ranging from Children of Athena to Ares offspring. 
 I loved the camp, I loved the descriptions of the cabins all arranged and decorated with the God in mind, I loved Mr D and Chirone the two people who run the camp. I found Grover to be Hilarious and such a well done character. 
 I think I should have read this when I was younger, young me would have loved Percy and admired Annabeth. Me now does admire Annabeth's character and Percy but I don't feel the connection so many other readers have. 
 Percy Jackson is fast paced, beautifully imagined, with some really great characters that I can't wait to see grow and change as the books go along.
