A review by cerareadstoomuch
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

4.0

As someone who watched the movies before reading any of the books, I loved this. When the first movie (The Lighting Thief, duh) came out, I quite enjoyed it. So I was confused why a lot of people didn’t like it. Now at 21, I am finally reading the series. And I understand! The story of this book is so different, and in a wonderful way. I found myself enjoying the story arc and the characters more so then I did just from the movie. I’m very happy that I picked up this book series, and I’m so sad that it took my this long to finally read them. Even though it is a Middle Grade book I will definitely be re-visiting this series and reading it again and again in the coming years.
