How do you punish an immortal?
By making him human.
After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favor.
But Apollo has many enemies-gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

this book is great
I love this book! It has Apollo that turned into a regular human, and now is having a more difficult time with his enemies, thanks to Zeus. Apollo received help from his friend Percy Jackson and was trying to finish a trial so that he can convince Zeus to turn him back into a god.
Awesome
I LOVE this book. We start our journey with Apollo's (not-so-glorious) fall from glory. Literally. He falls from the SKY, and when the god of the sun rises, he is completely MORTAL (and also covered with coffee grinds). Not only is his immortality gone, but more importantly, his naturally beautiful face has ACNE! Just when he thinks things cannot possibly go worse, (they can't, right?) things get much worse. He is forced to serve a 12 year old demigod named Meg, who can uses peaches to attack you, and so, together, they set out to find Camp Half-Blood (with a little help from Percy Jackson). But this book isn't called "The Trials of Apollo" for nothing. Someone is hunting him, and will stop at nothing until Apollo is destroyed. Overall, this book was a great read, (just make sure that you've read the first 2 series) and I couldn't stop reading till I reached the last page. Apollo goes from selfish to (mostly) selfless. I recommend to all ages, especially if you love Greek mythology with a twist.
This is awesome! I love the book. The plot is one of Rick Riordan's best yet.
I decided to read this book because ever since I read the first Percy Jackson book I have loved all Rick Riordan books. I recommend this book for all gods/demigods fans. Fans of suspense books will also love this because this book has an ending that you would never suspect.
