A review by ebusso
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
3.0
3.5 (sorry cam)
Things I didn't like
1. The first half was too similar too HP
2. Weak narration. The internal monologue is dry and boring. Percy's sarcasm is very weak.
3. Why are we up Greek gods asses? We all know they suck.
4. Trauma?? Why is Percy not traumatized after watching his mom get fucking vaporized???
Things I did like
1. Disability rep!! Heroes with dyslexia and ADHD!! I LOVE TO SEE IT.
2. Real word commentary--you have to pay to die! Pollution in the River Styx! Animal abuse! Love to see it uncle Rick!
3. Symbolism -- this relates to #2 but the symbolism in this book is beautiful. A pen being a sword?? Rick, I'm OBSESSED
I'm so tired rn I don't know if any of this makes sense but I really liked the last half of this book. Also stop disrespecting my mans Hades
