Magazine of the Gods - I

Percy Jackson is a very interesting character that we call him a Half God, Half Boy, All Hero. The first time I came across this book was in the school library. The title was The Lightning Thief. I instantly had a liking to the book.

The book talks about Greek Gods that live in a mountain called Mount Olympus. It is actually situated on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building!.

I got really interested in the book so I asked my mum to buy the entire series. These are the books in order. The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of The Labyrinth and The Last Olympian.

The Lightning Thief is a very interesting book and I reccomend you to read it. The story revolves around Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, the Sea God. The truth is, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades vowed to never have children with mortal women. Zeus broke the vow by having Thalia, a Half-God Girl. In the end she was turned into a pine tree.

When Poseidon also broke the vow, Hades was furious in his underworld. In the meantime, Hades's Helm of Darkness and Zeus's Master Bolt were stolen. Percy set out on a quest to retreive these two items while confronting the three furies that hindered his journey.

Percy was acompanied by Annabeth, a daughter of Athena, and Grover, a Satyr. Together, they traveled to the underworld following a prophecy. There, they learned that Hades didn't take the two items but discovered that Ares, the God of War had taken them.

Then the amazing conclusion is that Percy survives and returns the things to their rightful owners. But little did Percy know, more darkness were to await him in the journey ahead.
