The Lighning Theif

Rick Riordan

Non Fiction

I very entertaining and so much better than the Movie!

The plot in this book is very entertaining and keeps you interested. It starts with Percy Jackson having trouble with these bullies in his school and he ends up getting in trouble with his teacher who ends up being a creature that can fly asking him where the lightning bolt is. Percy soon finds out that he has power over water and he can move water and cool stuff like that. Also his friend ends up being a saytr which is a person who has goat feet. Also his father walked out on him when he was young and now his mom lives with one of the stinkiest people alive, and he is a complete jerk to her and percy. While they are headed to the school for Gods and demigods they get attacked by a minotor that takes percys mom. They go on a quest to find zeus's lightning bolt and also for his mom.

The major theme is probably the father loves his son so he helps him because he loves him. Also it is a great story of a boy trying to get his mother back and it is a very good action movie and is packed with many mythical creatures.

The authors style is not as clear as other Books because it is a different book but he keeps the action going and explains the creatures fairly well.

The intended audience is for all genders and for all ages because it is very entertaining and not violent action so it is very easily read but is a great book and is reccomended by most english teachers.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert says. "Such a great exciting book for all ages". And Mel Odom said. "Fantastic Thrill Ride."
