Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

To be honest, the first time my friend recommended this book (The Lightning Thief) to me, I was pretty reluctant to read it. First off, I knew nothing about Greek mythology, and I wasn't fond of heroic stuff, either. However, my interest was instantaneously captured when I laid my eyes on the title of the first chapter: I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher. Yes, I laughed. I wanted to find out how somebody could just vaporize his/her/their teacher, so I started reading the book. It ended up being a really fun book.

Things I Like About This Book (and that says something if I actually like them):

Things I Don't Like About This Book (well, it's me, so there's always something):

Personally, I would give this book a 4.7 out of 5 rating. I recommend this book to anyone who like action books. However, you should be aware of the itching cliffhanger at the end of the book. It makes the average person really (and I mean REALLY) want to read the next book. I know many people who have lost weeks of sleep because they just had to read on.
