A review by violet_judy
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

5.0

This book was really good especially since it is considered to be a middle grade novel. I loved all of the characters including Mr D, except for Luke and Gabe. I loved the portrayal of each Greek God and the characters were very unique compared to similar novels. Annabeth and Grover were the literal best and i love them so much. Annabeth is everything any young girl would aspire to be and i think that is admirable for Rick to do. Percy was a very quick thinking protagonist and didn’t really annoy me that much which is great considering how much other young main characters could do. The only down fall was that i had seen some spoilers and watched some scenes from the movie previous to reading this. So some things were predicted but that still didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.
