I've not been disappointed. I was scarred that I wouldn't enjoy this book much because I don't know anything about Greek mythology and because everyone seemed to love it. My expectations were high and I was not disappointed.
I loved following this trio in their adventures and the twist at the end got me, even though I always felt a bit suspicious about it.
I honestly can't wait to read the second book!

I read this as part of my book club and was a bit skeptical at first if it would be a book for me. However I found it to be a really fun book, although a middle grade age book (not typically my genre).
This story is about Percy Jackson and the Olympian gods. Percy and friends go on dangerous journey of determine who stole Zeus' lightning.
I loved the story about the Olympians, majority of the big hitters are in this story and I loved hearing about each. There are some ridiculous moments in this books and in reality that most people wouldn't survive, but this book is about adventures and these three teens coming together to solve the mystery.
I am not sure if I will continue this series anytime soon, but I for sure will read them with my son when he gets older.
