I read Percy Jackson and the lightning thief by Rick Riordan, at first, I didn’t want to read it, but, after being forced to read it by my friend I end up enjoying it. The book is a fantasy/adventure book it talks about Percy a kid who live in New york that has a very important father. His father is a god which makes him a half-blood. After just reading the first few pages I couldn’t put the book it was just an amazing book that I bet that you can’t put down either. It is the first book in a series of many incredible books by Rick Riordan, and you know a book is good if it has a money and of course it does. Also, remember the book is always better than the movie.

Percy Jackson a the sixth grade in a boarding school that has a not so bright future, but not because he is has ADHD and dyslexia because his father is a god. His mother is a human so that mean that he is a half-blood. One day during a field trip, Percy and his friend Grover were hanging out when a bully came and attacked Grover and Percy got mad and water from a fountain flow on the bully. After that Percy is taken aside to be punished, but instead the teacher because a fury, an ancient monster from the greek “myths” that tried to attack him. That was until Mr.Brunner throw him a pen. Percy was confused until Mr.Bunner told him to click it and then it became a sword that he used to kill the fury, and this is the began of Percy’s adventure.

The setting in the Percy Jackson goes from place to place. The first major place was the Camp Half-blood. Where Percy and other Half-blood trained to fight monsters. They also go to the underworld where Percy and his friends meet Hades and talk to him about the quest. The point of view in the story is first person point of view, from Percy’s sarcastic and snarky perspective. The mood in the story is a mix of confusion, excitement, and just plain awesomeness. The theme of the story is nothing what it seems because a lot of things end up being twists.
The book wasn’t longest or shortest book I've ever read, but it was one of my favorites so far. The book writing style is extremely relatable, which makes it feel like you're apart of it. The story is also very well told. Whenever there is an action scene, or something important then the author adds imagery on to help you feel like you're watching it. The writing flows very well because you also know what's going on in the story, it never has a messy storyline.
Even though I was forced to read it by a friend I end up enjoying the book a lot. The book always is seen to have a new surprise or a twist. The story is so well told that I have gone back and read it multiple times. I feel that is a good book you might disagree, but it has adventure, fights, and magic. I know you might not be into that kind of books, but if you our you should check this book out.
