I am now reading this book and it's super cool! I like this book because the Olympions come out (Zeus, Poseidon, Haidas, Athena, Hermas and the other Olympions.) And Percy gets into big trouble. Maybe our classmates should try to read this book. I wish that I quickly know who was the The Lightening Theif. Maybe Half-Blooded, or maybe the gods. I love this book!

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school... again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself. Until the Minotaur chases him to summer camp. Suddenly, mythical creatures seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. The gods of Mount Olympus, he's coming to realize, are very much alive in the twenty-first century. And worse, he's angered a few of them: Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Now Percy has just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property, and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. On a daring road trip from their summer camp in New York to the gates of the Underworld in Los Angeles, Percy and his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena -- will face a host of enemies determined to stop them. To succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of failure and betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

I love this book!s master bolt.
Wow. Just WOW. This book was great because it has great word choice. Also it is action-packed and hilarious!!! I don't like it as much as the other Percy Jackson books. It is about Percy Jackson going on a adventure to find whoever stole Zeus's lightning and retrieve it. If he doesn't get it by the winter solstice, then there will be a war of the gods.I suggest this book to everyone that I know!!!
In Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series there is humor, action, and adventure packed into five books. I loved every second of this one.

This book is the most interesting of it's series!
This book was Awesome! but the movie does suck. My favorite part was when he fights Ares.
The movie... was horrible,I'm sorry but they didn't even show Ares,and they made Percy take his mom... I hope the second movie is better...
I read the movie and the book! The book is mostly better than the movie. Thats what most people usually say. It's such a good book! Humans and half-bloods alike agree...
I loved this book because it's a really great series and I'm totally hooked on it.
I have read all the Percy Jackson books and they are AMAZING!!! The characters are hilarious and the adventures,exhilarating. Rick Riordan made another masterpiece! I absolutely LOVE THEES BOOKS!!!!!!<3
