Enjoyable, fast-paced story which melds Greek myth with modern times. Percy discovers his true identity, is pursued by monsters bent on his destruction, learns of his role in a prophesy, understands the meaning of his destiny and ultimately survives a quest which serves as his coming-of-age. The arc is classic Aristotelian in shape with a satisfying emotional throughline. Can't wait to read the rest in the series!]]>
