Entry One: I have chose the book //Percy Jackson: The Lighting Thief.// This is the first of five. IN ORDER!!!

The author of this series is Rick Riordan. I read this series threw my cousin. He recommended this series to me so i started with the first one and loved it! It was very fun and kept me thinking about all day. So far Percy has discovered that his father is the one and only, the god of the ocean, Poseidon. I thought it was kind of funny because he kept making you read, until he told you he was his father but you kind of already knew.

I didnt read because of the dance

December 4th, 2011 Final Blog

Sorry i haven't blog in along time. it's just that the blogs are due on saturdays and I do stuff every weekend. Anyways enough about that! I've been reading the book Percy Jackson Lighting Thief, and I've finished it. If you like books that keep you on your feet and get you in the story than I think that this series is right for you! What basicully happens in this book is thatg the son of Poseidon, Percy, is accused of stealing Zeus great lighting bolt. This story shows how a teen travels across the US with his two best friends going on crazy adventures to prove that their not gulity. Rick Riordan shows two themes in this book. Always belive whats in your heart, and to always stay close to your friends. But I belive that Riordan stays on the theme always belive whats in your heart. This theme shows and progresses more throughout the story as Percy has to make more and more tuff decisions. For example at the beginning of the book Percy has to decide if he needs to save his mom from Hades or not. Kinda of an easy decision. Haha. Towards the end of the book Percy has to decide who stays in the underworld. Him, his mom, or one of his friends. Grover (his bestfriend) steps up and stays, but Percy wasnt happy with this but, he needed to do what was right in his heart for the better of the group. I give this book a 5 out of 5 and i really recommend it to people who like adventure books with alot of greek mythology. Riordan does a really good job showing the theme early in the book and makes it almost obvious at the end of the book. Riordan keeps this book at a fast pace, he always keeps you at the egde of your seat, never drops you at a cliff hanger. Again I really recommend this series.
