I have just bought the book at a sale at the Times book shop. It was a very enjoyable time reading it. Why I like it so much is because it has an attractive story and personally I like magic and adventure books.

I have always been a Percy Jackson fan. And it is one of my all-times-favorite. The story is just so humorous and the idea is quite new. Mixing ancient Greek with modern lifestyle. Have fun reading!
