Percy Jackson and The Olympians In The Lightning Thief



                                                                                                             By Rick Riordan
                                                                                                              A Book Report




My first thought when I started to read this book is how Harry Potter of you. Lets see a young boy, a multibook series, one is a wizard on is a god. He even calls himself a half-blood in the beginning. The comparison ends there. This book is creative, fun and imaginative. (not to say that Harry Potter is not) I even liked the audio book version read by Jesse Bernstein. 

This book was a hot commodity at the library. I had to borrow it from Media and it was on hold when the due date came up. I listened to the last few chapters on CD. 

The story moved well from start to finish all 25 chapters and 384 pages were easy to read and well thought out. The characters were original (except the Greek gods) and the concept new. This book was the most fun I had reading a book in a long time. 

               This is definitely a book you can read to the whole family. I would recommend it to anyone young or old. The series is off to a good start I just can’t wait to see the movie next month or read the next book in the series. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                     Grade A
