First thought when finished: What a great story and adventure 🙂
Story Thoughts: I love stories of grand adventures and quests! There is something fun about following someone as they save the world, get a crush, and work out who they are in the process. Percy Jackson was no exception to that rule.
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan: This was a great read and one I would highly recommend if you like the Harry Potter books. It was clever (the use of the different gods persona’s were both funny and spot-on to what you would think they would be like if they were in this era) and funny (the kids and the gods have a knack at making almost every situation humorous). I was not sure what to expect as I had only heard a little bit about the movie and had not heard of the books at all until recently. Now, I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
