Book Review by Damiano Carretta Dario D.C.D.

                       BOOK REVIEW:

    PERCY JAKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS 

This a book that is very hard to understand so read attentivly.
This book is about Greek Mythology meeting modern life. In this book the Greek gods exist but they don't just stay in one place. They move around a lot,  wherever the Flame of Olympus is hottest they move there. From Greece they went to Rome,  then to Germany and France,  they aslo went to England. Now they are in America.If you've read about Greack mythology then you'd know that gods sometimes met with mortals and had offspring which were called "demigods".Demigods are heroes,  they do the things gods aren't botherd to do.  Gods are restrained to rules where demigods are free and can go anywhere and do anything if they're brave enough.  Now to get on with business:
Soo... do you wanna know about Percy Jakson....you do......oh reallyyy........okay, so Percy Jakson is a demigod.  But he's no normal demigod.  He's a son of Poseidon and Poseidon is one of the big three gods Zeus, Hades and Posiden. Sons of the big three are very Powerful and very Dangerous. In Manathan theres a camp spacially made for Demigods to train to fight against monsters. Monsters of Greece don't actually die they just disappear and go to Tartarus to return another day. For monsters to start attacking Demigods they need to be 11 years of age. But for a son of the big three to get attacked they need to be 6 years of age. So Percys mother married someone who covered up Percys scent quite well. So Percy wasn't attacked until he was 11 and the whole time he never knew he was a half-blood (Another term for Demigod). I can't say more for then I would expose too much.
