Percy Jackson - The Heroes Of Olympus
This book is one
of the best I’ve ever read . It
gives us a fair idea about Greek
and Roman mythologies and
about their wonders. It is a
beautiful blend of adventure and
friendship and the persistence
that is necessary in life. It is
about people who are half-god
half-human, but all heroes. They
fight mythical monsters and
save the world by risking their
lives. We might not have such
monsters in reality but we do
learn how to fight the monsters
inside us with courage. It shows
how we must sacrifice a few
things in order to achieve some-
thing. It shows how size and age
do not define potential. It shows
how selflessness and and the
love of helping others makes
this world a better place.
The writer has given all the
characters an important role to
play and they’re unique in their
own ways.
