The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan




My Ratings:
Vocabulary:  *****
Ingredients: *****
Satisfaction: *****
Lexile Level: 740L
Genre: Fantasy, Greek Mythology
My Opinions: For some reason ever since summer started I have had this obsession for the Percy Jackson series. I read this book in a day pretty much since I had nothing else to do, so it is an easy read choice. This is the second time I am reading this series and reading it again helps me pick out those nitty-gritty details I left out the last time I read this hilarious book. Riordan isn't knee-slapping funny in this book and he isn't cheesy, but he is rather the perfect balance which keeps readers like me engaged! Percy is a troubled kid, who always gets kicked out of schools. When the field trip at Yancy Academy goes completely wrong, Percy's mom knows it's time for him to go to Camp Half-Blood. He arrives at camp where he finds out his friend, Grover, is a satyr. Camp is cool and becomes really cool when he discovers he is the Son of Poseidon, god of the oceans. Powerful. But soon a mystery unfolds and with Grover and a fellow camper, Annabeth, Percy is ready to conquer the impossible.
