Book Review of The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Bk 1)

The Lightning Thief  (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


This book, by far, is one of the best first books in a series since the first Harry Potter book. Rick Riordan has created a believable world within a world; the world of the Greek Gods and their children, the Half-Bloods. Riordan weaves modern life with the world of the Gods in such a way that it makes the reader actually believe this could happen. I would suggest this book to any child or adult who enjoys fantasy books.
