Good Books but Copy Cat
2010-07-30
Reviewer: Reader Mom
These are good books - I started with the movie "Lightening Thief" which I loved. Now on the 3rd book. I love learning about the gods & the stories capture & entertain me. As an avid Harry Potter fan, I am disappointed by the obvious copy-cat of this author. Things like "Invisibility cap(e)", "Half-Bloods", Parts of the villian needing to come together to make a whole, "Hippocampus" animals (think Hippogriff). And different details like that throughout the book. Come On! I wish that this writer, who is engaging and creative on his own accord, would come up with his own ideas. It does a disservice to Harry Potter, and made me less respectful of him as a writer, and his work.
That being said, my kids love the stories & they are entertaining & worth reading. Looking forward to book 4!
The Lightening Thief

If you like adventures then you will like this book. It takes place in New York, present day. The main character, Percy Jackson, is half man, half god, but he doesn't know it. I like this story because it teaches you Greek mythology and it is full of adventures. In the beginning of the story, Percy's life starts to get weird and he keeps blowing up school equipment. Zeus thinks Percy stole his lightening bolt, and that is a problem! Grover, his best friend/secret protector saves him many a time. In the end, Percy becomes more understanding and brave. I like this story and I am sure you will too!

Saw the movie and like it so I ordered this book set with Book 4 & 5 and used the free SUPER shipping. It arrived at my door 5 days after I ordered. Almost finished book 1 - better than the movie, of course. Don't need to be kids or young adult to enjoy this.
