Reread in 2017
I'm not usually into middle-grade, but this is one of my favorite series of all time. It's just so fast and easy to read, really funny, action packed, and full of compelling characters. I love Percy's sassiness and Riordan's interesting take on Greek Mythology in modern world.
I just love Rick's books, he's very good at writing action scenes and humor, and he uses these myths to serve the story in such creative ways.

Rick Riordan has been my favorite author since before I can remember. I first read this when I was nine and have been reading his books ever since. Now, I am 19 and I still plan on reading any book he publishes. I can still remember the day I bought it at my school's Scholastic book fair. *sigh* those were the days... If only I realized how much free time actually meant and used it appropriately instead of watching Disney Channel. Imagine how many more books I could have read! This book pulled m

This book has been on my to read shelf for quite some time. I never really had an excuse to not read it, but I always had books that looked more appeasing. I took even longer to read it recently and juggling over removing it from my to read shelf due to the reader audience I had perceived this book would try to reach. Yet another book you should not judge based off its cover, or audience for this matter. I really enjoyed this book and liked its differences from the movie. This is one of the few

The Lightning Thief was fast, fun, and a great read. There was tons of Greek mythology in this book. Some I've heard of, and others not so much. So I feel like there was a small educational element to this book as well.

"Być może natomiast nie wiesz, że w twoim życiu działają potężne siły. Bogowie... potęgi, które nazywasz greckimi bogami, są jak najbardziej prawdziwe."

After many years on my tbr shelve I have finally read The Lightning Thief. I really enjoyed this book. Ever page was action packed and very entertaining. Surprisingly I didn't feel disconnected with characters because of their age. As an adult I still found it relatable. I can see myself respond to situations the same way Percy did. This book was funny! Not too kid-ish, but still goofy. I was expecting to see the Gods wear the whole Greek attire, but that was not the case. When we finally meet P

I read these books when I was younger, and I can still remember how awesome they were! Percy Jackson and the Olympians is what started my Greek Mythology obsession, and Rick Riordan is an incredible writer. These books were ones of the first books that fueled by growing passion for reading, and are definitely a must read!

one of the most enjoyable YA books I've read in Awhile that's a series. like the Roman history. fast paced.
