A review by booklybrittany
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

5.0

This was EVERYTHING. I missed out on the Percy Jackson phase when the books were first popular because it was a little after my time as a middle schooler, but WOW am I happy that I decided to read these. My little brother absolutely loved them when he was in 5th grade and I remember seeing the movie (yikes) in theaters with him and my mom. Now, I know what you're thinking. The adaptations of the first two PJO books were not great, but I didn't read the books prior so I had nothing to compare them to. After reading this as an adult, I can fully understand why the film series was stopped after book 2.

Here's to hoping that Disney+ kills it with the TV series (also - here's to hoping they cast Logan Lerman as Poseidon and make all of my dreams come true).

All hail Rick Riordan for creating such an magical and fantastic world.
