teeblees 's review for:
Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief: The Graphic Novel
by Robert Venditti, Rick Riordan
I liked this graphic novel because it was Percy Jackson, but that is about the only reason. I am a long time fan of the book series and love them to pieces, so I decided to pick the graphic novel up because I have been trying to get more into graphic novels recently.
Had I not read the book, I don't think I would have understood the story as well. There were jumps in time without saying there were jumps in time and little bits that wouldn't make sense if you haven't read the book (such as Annabeth's comment on the plane ride at the end).
They cut out lots of detail which is understandable as it would be much longer and it is hard to fit that much detail into a comic strip - still more accurate than the Percy Jackson movies though.
The only thing that really annoyed me was that there were no page numbers. I don't know and this is probably a trivial thing, but I really like knowing how many pages I have left of a book - just me?
I'm glad that I read this book, but I doubt that I will re-read this as frequently as I do the Percy Jackson books. Plus, this also counted for the Arithmancy section in O.W.L.s Magical readathon 2019.
