Title: The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1)
Author: Rick Riordan
Summary: Percy Jackson
is about to be kicked out of boarding school... again. And that's the least of
his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem
to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and
into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus' master lightning
bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.Now Percy and his friends
have just ten days to find and return Zeus' stolen property and bring peace to
a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do
more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who
abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a
friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.
My Opinion: A troublemaker
that seek an attention to everybody and an innocent that have a life filled
with secrets. That's Percy Jackson on the first few parts of the book. This boy
is amazing,fantastic and incredible. Although,I pronounce the name of Percy as
Precy for the first time I open the book and I thought Percy is a girl. I'm
stupid. No offense to Percy. Oh gods. Let me continue, first installment of
Rick Riordan book series is beautifully crafted. I bow to the master of Myths
and Mystery.
Because of this book, I learn Greek
myth's people and easily memorize them all. I wonder why? Yes,I admit I felt
boring and lame listening to this kind of topic on my high school years but
when I read this book as if my mind,body and soul is automatically awakes my
interest and became exasperated to read this. It amuses me. It fascinates me. I
like the way Rick Riordan tell the information about the mythology. The words
are clear and easy to understand. It takes me to North America even if I'm in
the Philippines because the story is in love to do adventure and travel on all
around the country. I meet medusa. I experience
running away to escape the monsters. I went to the underworld, creepy but cool!
I meet the 12 deities. I experience playing the flag catching game with Greek
armor. I'm having hang-out with a satyr and other demi-gods. I've been resented
being a sibling of one of the big three.
Then, it also had a thrill and mystery. The prophecy. The reason why I
keep on turning pages to seek the answer. Eventually, I did it. I complete the
mystery. I like Percy for being brave, humorous, innocent, and determined.
