The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
5.0
Can you believe when I first picked this book up was because of the movie and because it was being sold at a really low price? Honestly, I was so dumb haha -.-
First of all, I can't believe how different the movie is compare to the book. I mean, I knew it was different but now on my second read I can see it more clearly (idk why). Like, the only thing they have in common is the name of the main character -.-
“If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.”
Well, I love my Percy. He's just the funniest and most sarcastic boy that exist! I annotated my book this time and I think 70% of that were "hahaha" :P I think it's the funniest thing when he's about to be killed and he decides it's a good time to say something sarcastic or annoying.
“What if it lines up like it did in the Trojan War ... Athena versus Poseidon?"
"I don't know. But I just know that I'll be fighting next to you."
"Why?"
"Because you're my friend, Seaweed Brain. Any more stupid questions?”
One of the most beautiful things this book has is the friendship. Grover, Annabeth and Percy make such a kickass, and at the same time adorable, team. The love for each other is so pure and they would do anything to protect one another <3
Moreover, since I was a little I've loved Greek Mythology so to see those powerful and sometimes terrifying creatures from the myths playing characters so human was incredible. It reminded me a lot of the Disney movie "Hercules".My favorite part is when they encounter Caronte, poor Caronte he was having such a hard time hahaha
Honestly, I didn't find anything that I dislike about this book. It's possible that the fact that it is one of my favorite books makes me less critical but I still love it not matter what <3
