Most people get presents on their sixteenth birthday. I get a prophecy that could save or destroy the world. That's how it is when you're the son of Poseidon, God of the Sea. According to an ancient prophecy, bad things will happen when I turn sixteen - because I'm the one who gets to decide the fate of the entire world. But no pressure. This is the one where Kronos, Lord of the Titans, is beginning his attack on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Oh, and the dreaded (and not to mention enormous) monster Typhon is also heading our way. So it's me and forty of my demigod friends versus untold evil . . .

This Percy Jackson is full of action, there are many tragedies but it all ends well. Percy manages to finally defeat Kronos, but there is a giant twist that will leave you hanging. Luckily the original three mange to survive and Olympus doesn't get destroyed. I really enjoyed this book, I liked how you never know what is going to happen next and all the twists and turns throughout the novel. I give this novel five stars becuase it was written well and the plot was extremely good. I Also liked how the author managed to bring a certain anticipation throughout the novel for the end of the book.
