The Lightning Thief by Rick RiordanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My synopsis of this series would be "Life's a bitch when your dad's Poseidon" preferably said in that ultra deep Movie Trailer Voiceover. Blurb is as Follows:
Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends, and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. Can Percy find the lightning bolt before a fully-fledged war of the Gods erupts?
I got hold of this whole sequence of books and devoured them, one after the other. I had stalled in my reading, and just couldn't find anything to suit but these hit the spot just nicely. They are a fun, Quick read, well Plotted, full of action and Greek mythhology, I enjoyed them immensely.
