I don't do YA, usually it just bores me, but after seeing the movie I wanted to read the book. The whole the book is usually better than the movie thing. Boy was I right about that. The writing grabs you right from the get go

Percy Jackson is a student with ADHD and dyslexia who discovers his problems are due to the fact that he is the son of Poseidon. The gods believe Percy has stolen Zuse's lightning bolt and to prevent war Percy goes on a quest to retrieve the bolt. I enjoyed the depiction of the gods and the three main characters. I look forward to reading more in the series.

I enjoyed it... but any children fantasy books are always compared to the first ones I was addicted to (Harry Potter). But overall I recommend it and currently moving on the the 2 book... its the US version of Harry Potter and obviously no wands. I Hope I continue to enjoy them, because I now own all 5 books.
