A review of Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Little introduction :
Percy Jackson thinks he’s just a bad kid with a learning disability and ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)until he learns he’s the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. He gets to camp Half-Blood, a safe place from monsters where he meets other demigods. But he soon finds out, that Zeus’ master bolt has been stolen and he’s the top suspect. To get rid of this accusation, he goes on a dangerous quest filled with mythological monsters to find the true thief to avoid a war between the gods.
I like this book, it has a creative and suspenseful storyline and attaching characters. We meet Percy Jackson, a hero destined to save the world but doesn’t know how to, Annabeth Chase, a wise and courageous demigod and Grover Underwood, a satyr who just wants to have some fun. When I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. The imaginary story takes place in a world where modern day and ancient Greek mythology are mixed in a hilarious chain of events. While reading, Riordan teaches us the various Greek myths and legends without us even realizing it. The text is written in ‘teen’ language adding to the entertainment. The tale also has a touch of mystery, letting us solve “riddles” in a race against the book’s characters. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy, adventure and thriller genres. It’s written for teenagers but it’s definitely not limited to teenagers. The only drawback I can think of is, at some point, events get repetitive. There are also multiple series in this universe so the pleasure of reading Rick Riordan’s books is prolonged(meaning: continuing for a long time.)

A little about the author of the book :
Richard Russell Riordan Jr also known as Rick Riordan is an American author.
