WOW! Percy Jackson And The Greek Gods is a good book. It gives information in such a funny way. Plus, he makes it fun to read Greek mythology books. You can learn and laugh at the same time. Now your mom won't shout at you.
In the story, Rick Riordan, (the author), tells the story as if Percy is telling the story to you instead. This makes it hilarious. An example of a joke is when Zeus throws Hephaestus of Mount Olympus he says, 'Sayonara, tool guy.' HAHAHAHAHA. That one's my favorite.
Each super-long chapter in the book is based on one Olympian. One of the chapters is on Persephone, the minor goddess of flowers but also the queen of the underworld. She is in the book even if she is not an Olympian.
The chapter titles are catchy, for example, 'Poseidon gets salty', or 'Demeter turns into Grainzilla.' You can't wait to know what happens in the chapter. Also, to make the book interesting, Percy, no, Rick Riordan makes the chapters in the order the Olympians were born, not by their power or strength.
The next time you walk past a bookstore, this book surely will catch your eye (or will it slice your eye with Percy's sword?). Next time, pick up the book and go home (that is if you can pick up all the Greek Olympians and Persephone).
