The following are reviews of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
"The escapades of the Greek gods and heroes get a fresh spin in the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, about a contemporary 12-year-old New Yorker who learns he's a demigod. Perseus, aka Percy Jackson, thinks he has big problems. His father left before he was born, he's been kicked out of six schools in six years, he's dyslexic, and he has ADHD. What a surprise when he finds out that that's only the tip of the iceberg: he vaporizes his pre-algebra teacher, learns his best friend is a satyr, and is almost killed by a minotaur before his mother manages to get him to the safety of Camp Half-Blood--where he discovers that Poseidon is his father. But that's a problem, too. Poseidon has been accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt, and unless Percy can return the bolt, humankind is doomed. Riordan's fast-paced adventure is fresh, dangerous, and funny. Percy is an appealing, but reluctant hero, the modernized gods are hilarious, and the parallels to Harry Potter are frequent and obvious. Because Riordan is faithful to the original myths, librarians should be prepared for a rush of readers wanting the classic stories." ~Chris Sherman
"Packed with humorous allusions to Greek mythology . . . along with rip-snorting action sequences, this book really shines." ~Horn Book Magazine
"[A] riotously paced quest tale of heroism that questions the realities of our world, family, friendship and loyalty." ~Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Percy was the gods son and he never knew that, but he was one of them too. The book was about gods and the under world and the heavens, powerful stuff like that. It had stuff in there people would not even think of! It was a really good book.
