Percy Jackson and The Lighting Thief Book Review

Dear all,

I got to go back to a God-based and themed novel with this great children's book. I can't wait to share my thoughts on it so I'm not going to waste any more time. The snow is falling outside and I can't think of anything better than to be writing this blog for you all to enjoy.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is the first bestselling book in Rick Riordan's phenomenally successful Percy Jackson series - now with a new cover look.

Half boy. Half God. ALL Hero.

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God.

I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Now I spend my time battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive.

This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Rick Riordan has now sold an incredible 55 million copies of his books worldwide

Review: 

5/5 Stars 

This is such a quick read and its different in some ways to the movie and I found myself liking the book more than the movie. That didn't surprise me. I shared this book with my partner who fell in love with it as much as I did and that goes to show the great writing style that Rick Riordan has to get two different people to fall into the depths of his story world and it to not matter where they come from. I can't say more great things about this book. Its a must read for all those who are older children who are wanting to escape into a much different world. It reminded me of a very 90s kind of book and it made me smile as it reminded me of my own childhood. Its a great book and I hope that you will get a copy if you don't already have one.
