A review by redvelveting
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

adventurous funny fast-paced

5.0

Having read this twice now, I still stand by that

the book is a million times more entertaining than any other medium this story has been adapted to

. Percy Jackson is still as charming as ever and super easy to read. Rick does a great job emulating 12-year olds and retelling Greek mythology in a way that is digestible and appropriate for his target demographic

(although with a few swaps for the Roman mythology but since they were for story purposes I suppose I can forgive)

. I give this 5 stars not because it’s perfect in every aspect but rather because it’s something I can read over and over again without being bored :)
