Leni Linnéa asked this question about The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1):

The only things I’d say is childish is Percys sarcasm towards every thing and maybe Tyson. But it’s a great series, I’m rereading it currently. Honestly, I think adults could enjoy this book so late teens can too!(less)
