The characters were very fun to watch though, and I'm sure I will fall in love with them over the course of rest of the series.

Percy Jackson - The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan is the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians middle grade series. This book is great, it has adventure, action, and humor! Percy could have sworn that his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him, he survives the ordeal and ends up at a place called Camp Half-Blood. There he learns that he's a demigod, the child of a god, for Percy this explains all the strange things that have happened to him throughout his life. After Percy finds out he's a demigod, the action in the novel kicks it up a notch.
I would give this book 5 stars but there's a bit of fatphobia in here. Whenever a character is mentioned as being fat it's because they're either supposed to be evil or scary or both. It was really off-putting while reading and I couldn't believe I forgot the fatphobia was in there. It's not as blatant as in Harry Potter but it's still there.
This novel is really enjoyable despite the fatphobia. I liked all the action, the twists, and the surprises. This is my third time reading this book and I still had a good time reading this. Overall, this book was a joy to read. I'm giving this 4.5 stars out of 5
