Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief

Title: Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief
Genre: Fantasy/fiction
Pages: 300

This week I started reading the book Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief and I finde it very interesting. Percy is a 12 year old boy who lives most of his life in boarding schools. The last school he went to was the Yancy academy, there he discoveres many strange things his teacher becomes a mythical creature and tries killing him, than then he sees old ladies that decide how much each person lives. He returns home, then he and his mother head for a holiday, in the middle of the night his friend groover apears but as a statyr and warns then to leave. Then they run away from a minotaur which was sent to eliminate Percy. The minotaur kills percies mother, but Groover Percy's guardian takes him to a camp. Percy soon discovers he is a half blood, half god-half human.

I really like this book so far , it's quite a simple read but is written really well, you understand clearly what the author is expressing. The book is full of suspense and action and isn't boring at any time. It's quite different than the movie and you get a different clearer representation.

  2. The book sound very interesting mostly because of the movie, I think you could have added some detail in order to make the book seem more appealing to the readers. I was wondering if you could get back to me with some answers for the questions I will pose, If you watched the movie what did you like better? And how were to two different?
