A review by giralka
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
5.0
Wow! Okay, I really enjoyed reading this. It's fast paced and very interesting as well because it's related to the Greek myths and legends. We all know how twisted and confusing the myths are but thankfully, Rick Riordan made it easy enough to grasp the basic concept and having Percy as confused as the readers might be is a good approach.
I dare say that I enjoyed this more than I do Harry Potter. Some might protest but of course, this is my opinion. I think Percy Jackson has a lot more adventures than Harry Potter does because with Harry, it's all just a series of unfortunate events but with Percy, it's like he was really asking for it, he's more bold than Harry. I like that about people.

There was this one scene where Percy, Annabeth and Grover were almost killed by the Stretcher (Crusty) on his water-beds, I know Percy isn't the sharpest tool in the box, but there was Annabeth? Daughter of Athena?? Wise girl? Why didn't any of them figure out that Percy could've used the water beds though? I mean, yeah, they're a bunch of scrawny teens but they're half-bloods, and one of them is the daughter of Athena? Hello?
