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.

By the way I would give this book a hundred stars out of five! It's a great book and the movie is great! XD
I love this book. It is like my all time favorite book! It's about how a kid named Percy Jackson finds out that Greek gods exist. So, Percy has to go to a camp called, Camp Half-Blood. He finds out people think he stole the weapon of Zeus called the Master Bolt. To clear his name Percy sets out on a dagerous journey with his two friends Grover, and Annabeth. I think Rick Riordan is a great author and all his books are awesome (except maybe the Kane Chronicles, it' an okay series.) So all in all I think everyone should read this book, and don't forgot to watch the movie, it's awesome too!
This book is awesome because Percy Jackson gets blame for stealing the master bolt and the helm of darkness. Percy manages to return both.
I tried to the book but it wasn't very interesting to me cause most of the book didn't make since because everything happened so fast tht you can't exactly keep up with what is going on and then you get confused! Tht is why I wouldn't recommend this book. But I REALLY think that Rick Riordian is a GREAT author. But this book doesn't fit me right like the Witch and the Wizard By: James Potter does! :(

Tht is why I wouldn't recommend this book. Rick Riordan is a GREAT author though but this book didn't fit me very much. I would prefer "Witch and Wizard" By: James Patterson instead of this book. :( Sorry if you don't agree but this is my opinion about the book.
The Lightning Thief is one of my favorite books ever! I loved the book so much I am going to read the whole series!!!!
i luv this book so much!!! once i got into it, i couldn't put it down!!! I highly recommend this book!
This book is amazing! I highly recomend this book to anyone who likes action books. This book kept me up in the night untill I had to stop reading. The next books are: The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of the Labrenth, and last but not least, The Last Olmypian. Rick Riordan is an amazing writer. Read this book and you will never see things in the same way again...
