Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Now I am pretty sure almost every teenager has read this book or watched the movie. If you haven't, well then READ IT! The book was finely written by Rick Riordan. If you have been living under a rock for the past 7 years then here is a summary of The Lightning Thief:

Percy Jackson is about to be 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 and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus' master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus' stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

The summary itself wants to make any fiction reader want to read it within hours. Yet there are some things that make the story unrealistic (even though it is a mythological and fiction novel) because Percy is fighting huge killer monsters and a Greek god. Many compare this novel to Harry Potter and there's so many similarities between them yet they both have distinctive features to their plot. 

Rate: 4 Stars 

Slightly because of the similarity between this and Harry Potter. Another thing was the character development.
