So I've been so busy lately,trying to juggle alot at the same time and finally I was done with the first book of Percy Jackson, after how many months,like three? Oh my goodness. Anyways, it's progress to say the least..
Alright,so I can't really remember but it was a certain day and my roommates were talking about the Percy Jackson adaptation. This was before it was out,I think they just heard the news and we're discussing about it. And then one of my roommates asked if I've seen it. I didn't really know what they were talking about so I shaked my head "no" and went on with what I was doing cause I couldn't input in the conversation since I had no idea.
Alright,flash back to now and I finally decided to read the book. Normally,for any movie derived from a book; I usually go ahead to read the book for first and for this,I don't the book was really good so I'm glad I did. Although,I haven't really finished the whole series yet,I just concluded the first book in it; The lightning thief.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a book series written by Rick Riordan and I just finished the first book;The lightning thief,which I'm going to write a bit on.
Percy Jackson is a regular 12-year-old—except he’s dyslexic, has ADHD, and keeps getting expelled from schools because of weird “incidents.” Like when his math teacher turns into a Fury and tries to kill him. Turns out, Percy’s not just unlucky—he’s the son of Poseidon, god of the sea, and the Greek gods are real and as dramatic as ever.
When Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen, he blames Percy’s dad, Poseidon. Zeus gives an ultimatum: return the bolt by the summer solstice, or there’ll be a godly civil war. Percy, of course, gets dragged into the chaos. With his best friend Grover (a satyr) and Annabeth (daughter of Athena), Percy sets off on a cross-country quest to find the bolt and clear his dad’s name.
Along the way, they face some seriously weird enemies: Medusa (who owns a garden gnome “emporium”), Echidna and her Chimera (in the St. Louis Arch, because why not), and Ares, the god of war, who’s as obnoxious as you’d expect. Percy learns he can control water, which is cool, but also makes him an even bigger target.
Eventually, they reach the Underworld and confront Hades, who’s cranky because someone also stole his Helm of Darkness. Plot twist: neither Hades nor Percy took Zeus’s bolt. The real thief? Luke, a camper at Camp Half-Blood and son of Hermes. Luke wants to destroy Olympus because the gods treat their kids like afterthoughts. He tries to kill Percy, but Percy escapes and returns the bolt to Zeus just in time.
Percy saves the day (barely) but learns being a demigod is a lifelong ticket to danger.
It was a 10. I loved every part of it. The humuor,the constant excitement throughout the whole story. It was intriguing, beautifully written and just good. I MUST finish it before March;)
Thanks for reading.
