A review by saadamansayyed
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
5.0
As, I marked earlier, I've marked this one for spoilers.
So, I absolutely adore this book. Known to smooch with books, I can tell this one goes into the Maia-area for me (LoL my jokes).
Anyways, this was my first fantasy book I've read, so I'm new to this genre, please forgive this poor soul for the sake of it.
So, I think dissecting every part of the book will be a knowledgeable move for me. Get me my dissection tools, dude!

CHARACTERS-
=The Trio=
Perseus Jackson:
Percy is the kid who you want to just sympathize with, but you say - "Eh, he can handle this one, I'mma get out." Making him the child of Poseidon rather than a stereotypical Zeus was a good thing on Rick's part. His friendship with Annabeth and Grover seems real. Plus, he has his flaws.
Annabeth Chase:
Annabeth is the girl you wanna be friends with (Not what you smirking assume) but then you're scared by her domineering nature. She shows Athena in all her blood. Honestly, I think she is a very good character. Also, her friendship with Grover and Percy seems more like a frenemy one. Applaud for this one.
Grover Underwood:
Grover is the goofy best friend/sidekick you secretly root for. His character seems very gloomy in the start, but then he begins to become a very cheery character. He is an excellent satyr in my opinion. Wonderful goat-boy, in my opinion.
=Antagonists=
Luke:
Luke is an awesome character, to be fair. He seems like a hero wrongly guided, but not the same thing as hero, anti-hero or villian. Unique character, I think so.
=Ares=
Ah, Ares! The bike-reading doofenplatz.
-----
SETTING:
Greek mythology was awesome. So awesome I can't say anything.
-----
Plot:
Lucid and good.
---
Adaptation into crappy movie? No, it does not exist.

In one line:
"An epic story of a middle-grader who is a demigod and most fulfill a quest, is a wonderful story of quests"
