Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief

Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief
Rick Riordan
374 Pages

In this part I read this week Percy arrives at the summer camp, he soon realises that the camp is not a normal summer camp. It's as if magic is used all around him, this was true. The camp was only for half-bloods or demigods which were half-God, half-human. He finds out that his teacher from Yancy academy is actually Chiron, the famous centaur. The camp director Mr.D is the God of wine and parties Dionysus. Percy gets a tour of the camp and realises it's quite unsual, he then gets assigned to cabin 11 were the undefiened half - Gods are, Here he meets look an easygoing guy. Annabeth who took care of him while he wasn't feeling well after fighting the minotaur, gives him a more detailed tour but then they come across Clarisse the daughter of Areas the God of war, she then decides to give Percy the new kid ritual, she drags Percy to the nearest toilet but just about as whe was to sticking his head down the toilet, he feels a gut in his stomach and water starts spraying from all the toilets, the water pushes Clarisse out of the building, and her friends are also wet and were pushed out, even thought the whole toilet was flooded, Percy was the only one who stayed dry.

I really liked this part of the book, I liked how the author described everything with so much detail you really get the feeling you are part of the story and that you are in the camp. The story itself flows really well and it's quite unpredictable which makes a story very good. Also the story is orginal and quite different from everything else that gives it a special feeling when your reading it, that's another reason it effective. I rate it a 9.7/10 so far since it's really fun and interesting for reading.
