My favorite subjects are history and science. I also LOVE reading! Before this school year I never really read much at all. My classmate Robert said that he loved reading <i>The Lightning Thief</i>. It looked very interesting so I checked it out at my school library. Which brings me to this review…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1:<br /><i><b>The Lightning Thief</b></i><br /><br /><i>Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is on the most dangerous quest of his life. With the help of a satyr and a daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction – Zeus’ master bolt. Along the way, he must face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop him. Most of all, he must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.</i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I..." imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I..." /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">-From the back cover</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Characters: Percy Jackson is a twelve year old who goes to a reform school. He has ADHD and dyslexia and always seemed to get in trouble. I loved the way he solved problems. He was very clever ands smart. Annabeth is Percy’s friend. Her mom is Athena (goddess of wisdom). Annabeth is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">very</i> smart. Her weapon is a special knife that can kill monsters. Percy’s protector is a satyr (half man, half goat); satyrs help protect soon to be demigods from monsters.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Setting: I love the setting! It is mordern day New York City and it’s mixed with Ancient Greece. Some of the places are mordern day tourist attractions but they have a Greek secret hidden in them!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Genre: It is a mixture of fantsy and Greek mytholgy. It has lots of adventure and magic.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I would give this book 10/10 or 5 stars! It is a young adult novel, but I think anybody can enjoy it!</div>
