I recommend THE LIGHTNING THIEF for fans of Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl looking for their next read, middle grade readers and their parents. The characters are fun and Percy is a fantastic MC to follow around and learn with, the perfect eye into a strange new world within ours. Though Lightning Thief isn’t the strongest of the series, it marks the beginning of a word that has expanded into an incredible literary world. The Lightning Thief scratches only the surface of this, each book building on the foundation he has laid. His plot has been immersed in the myth and humor so that what comes out is a complex and beautiful creation that stands out among many middle grade stories. And those with more than just a casual knowledge? There’s an extra level of humor just for you. Fans of mythology get a few little extras, special jokes that those with a little knowledge can enjoy more than the average reader. The characters are sassy and Riordan makes puns and jokes that will make the reader snort out loud.

Both the Gods and half bloods are full of humor. What stands out is the humor with which the characters are portrayed. When I think of Riordan’s books it is not the mythology that stands out, even though it is done so well. If I didn’t know about it before I picked up these books I could have seen myself making the effort to learn more just on the merits of this story. Riordan’s books are a great way to learn about mythology. So pull those Gods into the modern world? Yep, I’m down. Since I was a kid I have been obsessed with ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, etc. Take note, though, that it is still a really enjoyable read.

Still, it is probably my least favorite of the series so I can only give it a 3.5. THE LIGHTNING THIEF is so much better than the poor excuse for a film adaptation the horrors of Hollywood came up with.

Admittedly the movie was awful, but good enough that I was interested in checking out out the source material. When I read the Percy Jackson books I was already in high school. So far many of them have held up pretty well so I decided to go back to a favorite I read when I was a little older than the intended audience. Lately I’ve been going back to some of my old favorite middle grade books and seeing how my opinions change as I age. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends-one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena-Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.
She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea.
When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse-Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him.
Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. Published by Disney Hyperion Books on March 1st 2006
