He read every book in the series, and would re-read The Lightning Thief again as he waited for the new books to come out. I highly recommend these books. I bought this book for my 10 year old son and he LOVED it. I bet he has read it at least 5 times cover to cover.
(trying not to throw a spoiler in here) Read it if you want, enjoy it too, but be prepared to yawn a bit. I would say this book is right there with the 8-10 year old crowd, not the 12+. It IS in general, but oh so boring. The mother was thrown in on as a side note, from time to time. Basically, the writing was bland, pretty dull. I'm an adult, I very much enjoy reading tween books on occasion, and got this book thinking it would be a nice read. The biggest problem I had was Percy's mother, and how the author did not, could not, convey any emotional sadness or distress from the main character.
Now I can't wait to start the next book and go see the movie. Once you pick up the book you can never put it down until you are finished. Really great use of words. I couldn't stop listening. By Joshua, aged 11. This is an amazing book. I listened to the audiobook which was really exciting.
This has so many similarities to Harry Potter, I'm surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit.
Worth the money any day. He goes to the underworld to get Zues's lightning bolt back. I can't wait to see it. This is a mythology book. I hope it will be good. It has a lot of action in it.
It has the same producers that made Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. Percy Jackson is a 12 year old boy who finds out he is the son of Posedion, the sea god. He goes to camp half-blood and meets satyrs and children of the gods. It is going to be a movie coming out soon.
