Percy Jackson has never really fit in. He has been kicked out of 6 schools in 6 years. He has dyslexia and ADHD. Pretty sad for a 12 year old. But his whole world is about to change when he is attacked by his math teacher on a school field trip. His world begins to get stranger and stranger and he finds out the Greek gods are real and his father is a god. He is then sent on a quest with far reaching consequences. I really enjoyed this story. it was fun and the characters fascinating.
This has some similarities to the HP series but there's enough differentiation to make this a distinctively different world to escape into.
It's a well-detailed story of adolescent self-discovery overlaid with the Greek Gods and mythology as the base for this "new" world. It's enjoyably fast-paced and a great audiobook to listen to during work commutes. ...more

This was the first in the Percy Jackson series. I had watched the movie which made me want to read the books. The first one was good. Percy goes in search of Zeus' lightning bolt which was stolen. I liked the tie back to Greek mythology. It made me want to read more about Greek mythology.

Reread via audio book. It's been years since I read this series, I'm so happy to get reacquainted with the characters.
