The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
4.0
This book just never gets old! I first read this series back in high school and my love for it never diminished.
I loved getting to know the characters once again! Percy, Grover, and Annabeth. Seeing all of them get to know each other, go on a journey, and be a team is awesome! Made me feel a little bit nostalgic, too. I also love how the writing style makes it seem like I really am in the book, going on an adventure with this trio.
Loved the plot, of course. There's a blend of magical stuff and pretty normal teenage issues, and that was great for me. There are prophecies and mythology, but there's also family issues. I'm reminded that these characters are just kids, and they'll be going through some typical human problems as well.
And of course, I couldn't help but think of the movie adaptation. It's just so different to the books, and well. Books are better, anyway.
