Super series about a son of a Greek god December 27, 2008
Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson (p 38) "A dyslexic, hyperactive boy with a D+ report card, kicked out of school for the sixth time in six years," has been being shipped off to boarding school for years. Seems like he is always getting into trouble for something. And he has oddly awful experiences every time he goes on a class field trip. His stepfather is a smelly, obnoxious man who doesn't seem like a good fit for his sweet mother. In spite of which, he wishes he could just stay home. Finally, he ends up at a camp for half-blood kids like himself, learns about his paternal pedigree, and sets off on a quest to retrieve a stolen artifact. To say much more might spoil the story. The Lightning Thief is phenomenally filled with facts about Greek gods and containing: appropriate humor, wonderful writing, a fabulous plot, and uniquely funny chapter titles. Those who like this series may also enjoy: A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket; Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins; and, of course, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.
my son devoured the whole series December 22, 2008
I didn't read this book but my 12 year old son did and loved it. He is not a big reader but read each book in the series in less than a week. Keep them comming Rick Riordan.
Awesome Read! December 21, 2008
My 11-year old, avid reader, says this is one of the best books she has ever read!
