Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse-Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena -- Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.

It has been quite some time since I read a book in lightning speed (no pun intended...). Riordian manages to blend the current world and the world of Greek gods and mythos very well. The adventure goes from one action scene to the next and you want to keep reading till the end. I like that Riordian doesn't make the Greek gods perfect, but with mood swings and family drama just like the old days. i don't give the book five stars because I think Percy is a bit too young and with little training manages to defeat monsters and threats without too much of a hassle.

Still, a very entertaining book that gives Greek mythology a modern spin.
