Are the Greek Gods and Goddesses real? Could they really blame a twelve year old for stealing Zeus's master lightning bolt? Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief tells of the dramatic realistic adventures of a young boy named Percy Jackson.
Percy, has been kicked out of boarding school ... again. And that's the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook. So how come only he can see them? Why can't his best friend Grover see all the crazy things pop out at him, or can he?
Because Percy has just now been informed by his friend Grover, that he was blamed for the stealing of Zeus's lightning bolt. Percy and his friends must ,within ten days, find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. The complications, that sound almost impossible to complete, really adds to the intensity of this outgoing book.
When the reader reads The Lightning Thief they tend to realize that some of the actions, or events in this story could actually happen. I for a matter of fact have realized that my life has had events similar to the ones read here.
Without a doubt, I would recommend this book to any person who loves Greek mythology, action, mystery, or all the above. The Lightning Thief hits some major points in life, and at the same time tells a great life story of a young boy.
