I read Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief. Percy is a Halfblood, that means that he is half god half human, he is the only son of Poseidon, so he has some of the strongest godlike powers of all. Percy has dark hair and green eyes just like Poseidon. He has been kicked out of many different private schools over the years because he has a short temper, he also has dyslexia, and ADHD, the dyslexia is from knowing how to read Greek, and the ADHD helps him stay alert in a fight so that he doesn’t get hurt. Percy gets angry very easily, because when something that not all that bad happens he goes and gets angry for no reason, although one time it was because he was in the presence of Ares the god of war, other than that no reason. Percy kind of doubts himself sometimes throughout the book, because when the campers are playing capture the flag his team members send him to protect the boundary line, and he thinks he can’t do it. He’s also a good swordfighter because when he was fighting Ares he actually wounded him.
At first I didn’t think I would like this book I don’t know why though, but I liked it. I thought it was a good book but there’s a whole series and now I’m going to have the whole thing to find out how it ends! I would recommend this book to people who like adventure, fantasy, and suspense. The names of some of the characters reminded me of another book I’ve read in “Gregor the Overlander.” I liked the book so much I read it faster than a book that was less than two hundred pages and this one was a little less than four hundred and that’s a record time for a book that long. I liked this book way more than other books that I’ve read and I have read some weird books that I didn’t really like.
