The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

The Lightning Thief
By Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson isn’t your typical 12-year-old; he has dyslexia which makes it a challenge for him to read. He lives with his mom and her annoying boyfriend in New York City. At the end of summer, he drove up to his cabin with his mother. There was a storm going on and they were inside drinking hot cocoa and his mother was talking about how she met his father. Growing up Percy didn’t get to know his father. 

A couple minutes later someone comes banging on the door and his mother tells him not to open it but, he opens it anyway. 

Who is it? 

Read the book to find out what happens and I can guarantee reading it will answer any questions you have about the book.

This book is probably my favourite book because I’ve read it many times and it still is always so interesting. In case you were wondering there is an entire series of books, a couple movies and graphic novels. My opinion on the book is that it’s very descriptive and really gives you a good glimpse of what type of person Percy is and how he doesn’t think of himself but of his friends and family.

If I were to rate this book on a scale of 1-10 I would rate it a 9 just because its suitable for any audience, it is adventurous and includes a little humor he and there. 

I recommend this book to anyone who is having trouble looking for a good book that’s interesting because there are many things that anybody can connect to. 

The author is very good at letting the readers know about all the little details about the characters and I think that’s a very god way to attract readers.

  8. Great Cliff hanger, after saying : Who is it? It makes you want to know who is it. It could be anyone!

    Great detail of the setting, it makes it easy to imagine what the setting is like

    Wish : I wish you could've been a bit more informative about the book like what REALLY is the main problem. I haven't read it but I don't think dyslexia was his main problem
