The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

5.0

I really liked this and it brought back so many good memories of reading as a kid. This book is so nostalgic and I was able to remember so many scenes very vividly. That may be from watching the movie but even the parts of the book they did not put into the movie were so well-written and in-depth. I loved that this book was able to bring me back into light fantasy and captured my attention. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the action scenes and I was genuinely concerned for the characters so much so that this book made me want to read more books with action and danger scenes in them because of how good these were. There were some things I wish were different like the pop cultures references from so long ago and I probably would have liked them more when the book came out but they made the book feel a little old. However, this book was so good if you are looking for a nostalgic feel. I definitely recommend this book to some many kids who want to get into reading, to anyone who wants to get back into reading, or anyone looking for a good & easy read.
