The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Maybe by now you've all seen the movie,  but have you read the book?  How do you think the book and the movie compared?  And the best question is, how would you feel if you found out you were a descendant of the gods of Olympus?  Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed this book about a young boy on a quest across the United States.  I loved the mixture of fantasy and adventure, as Percy fought off fantastical creatures and learned about himself in the process.  The movie had a hard time competing with the images I created in my own mind as I read, but I still liked it too. Now I want to hear what you think!

Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is a great book if you like action packed books. It's all about a group of kids that have one parent that is a god, and they fight all sorts of monsters.  But the problem in the story is that one of Percy's friends turns on him. So Percy and his friends have to try and defeat him and his army in battle.
 
I thought that this was a good book because when Percy Jackson goes to camp with his friends, it reminded me of when I go camping with my friends. We also get in trouble like Percy and his friends. I think this is a great book, and I recommend this book for grades 3-6.

  1. I read the book and saw the movie. I liked the book better. The movie had parts that weren't like the book. Like the part when Luke stole the lightning bolt. In the book, Percy gives the flying shoes to Grover because he can't use them. comment by buggie

  2. I liked in the movie where they were in the underworld and the fire looked like attack dogs. I liked the movie so much, then I want to read the book and see if it had a different ending.

  8. I liked the book and I saw the movie. I liked the movie better than the book but the book was really good. I only liked reading the book because you could imagine cool things that are not in the movie.
