Percy Jackson is a normal middle school-er with dyslexia and ADHD and then he finds out that monsters are real and he is no longer the normal kid he thought himself (and apparently he has never been normal). His best friend has the legs of a goat and a giant bull walking on two legs is out to kill him. Camp Half-Blood is his only retreat away from things that want to kill him, but Percy has a problem, the three main Gods (Zeus, Poseidon, & Hades) are about to go to war because Zeus thinks that Percy stole his master lightning bolt for Poseidon. So now Percy has a little over a week to find the master bolt, that he didn’t steal, and return it to Mt. Olympus in order to clear his name. The major problem is that he has to travel to the Underworld to find out if Hades has it.
With the movie coming out soon I gave in and read The Lightning Thief and I am so glad I did. This book had me laughing out loud and I had to stop and read parts to my friends, because it was too great not to share. Moving on to book 2 the Sea of Monsters, hope it is as great as the first. If you want a fun read then this is one you should consider! Greek Mythology made funny with an action packed story. I just hope that Percy never changes who he is. I hope the movie can stand up to the book.

I just finished Sea of Monsters last night and it was just as good, if not better. Now I have to see the movie to see if they only used things from the first book or if they used things from book 2 as well.
This is one of my all time favorite series. I am so tired of vampires. I have read all but the last one, and that is on my list! I have always enjoyed Greek mythology, and learned some additional Greek god trivia from these books. The learning disabilities as actually hero traits is wonderful. Can’t wait to see the movie.
Ok I finished the 5th book and all I have to ssy is that this series was FUNNY! Love the humor and would love to read more!
OMG!! I LOVED this book. HAHALARIOUS!!! I’m a fan of Greek mythology and the whole modern day gods in the Empire State building really worked out for me. The rest of the series was just as funny but The Last Olympian has got to be my favorite out of them all…
oh yea nick, my brother, says hi guyz!!
Hi back! Did you see the movie?
