62. The Lightning Thief and 63. The Sea of Monsters My ex and I divided the books and she got these, but then bought me the boxed set of the first three. We had two copies of the fourth already, so now I just need the fifth book to complete. Yay!

... TBR pile, along with The Chardonnay Charade. I'm really into mysteries lately, and this one sounds really good. I read The Lightning Thief earlier this year on my 11 year old grandson's recommendation and really enjoyed it. He has now handed over the sequel for me to read, so I'll need to ...

I finished The Lightning Thief and started Sea of Monsters - really fun books. I suppose they're a little predictable if you know mythology well, but I'm really enjoying the series so far!

... reading everyone! ETA: #106: LOL I should have been studying while reading TGwtDT, I know how you feel laia, and I loved The Lightning Thief hope you will enjoy it too!

I just finished reading Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. I am currently reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Lightning Thief written by Rick Riordan. It's actually more of a children's/teens book, but it was recommended on some site. And I must say, the story is very appealing so ...

I finished Reincarnation, so now I'm reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. I am still on Mergers, though. It's realling confusing. Percy Jackson is really really really good so far, and I am already on page 20!

65. Did you read.... The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan Percy finds out he's no ordinary 6th grader, he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon. Well that explains a lot. So now all he has to do is go an a quest to recover Zeus's thunder bolt and survive 6th grade.

67. The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan Percy and the Olympians are fun to read and very well written. Even though it is written children it kept my attention. Percy finds out he's a demigod and his father is Poseidon. Explains a lot to him. Now all he has to do is make it through his ...

#111: IMHO, the Percy Jackson series improves with each book. I hope you can get through The Lightning Thief well enough to give the rest a try.

I really enjoyed The Lightning Thief but agree, it wasn't to the standard (is that what I mean??) of Harry Potter.

39. The Lightning Thief, Rick Riordan Not a bad little series. Seems to borrow a bit from HP, but I want to keep reading, and that's really all I ask for.

I'm at Camp Half-Blood with Percy Jackson.

I zipped through The Lightning Thief and The Sea of Monsters over the weekend, and started on The Titan's Curse. I decided that I did need to reread, so the whole story would be fresh in my mind, and I'm glad I did; I'm already being reminded of things I had forgotten.

Parts of The Lightning Thief take place at summer camp. The heroes are demigods, and there is a smidgen of pre-romance.

{{{Spoilers}}} 17) The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan- I really liked this book! I loved how they incorporated Greek mythology in with our modern world, and how they made Percy and Grover look like normal kids, but then we discover that Percy's a demi-god and Grover's a satyr. I am slightly ...

Just started The Lightning Thief last night. Pretty good so far.

This month's read is The Lightning Thief. Discuss away!

I'd recommend the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, which starts with The Lightning Thief. You might also try the Attolia series, starting with The Thief. If I think of more, I will post them here.

Lightning Thief sounds good!

Yeah, I know. That's why I was posting several. Okay so how about Lightning Thief? Since not many have heard of Airman, that might be the best choice.

Lightning Thief would be fun. I'd go for Wizard Heir before Dragon Heir because I liked it better (and what I like is, of course, law). Do you not like the first of the series for some reason? I've never heard of Airman. But really, it's just fun to read books with you guys, so ...

Just finished The Lightning Thief and I loved it!

41. The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (YA, Fantasy, mythology) Library Review at http://aprilperlowski.livejournal.com/5292.html

I agree that The Lightning Thief is not a Harry Potter ripoff. Instead, it feels more like an American Gods for teens. Greek and Roman gods are active in the world, "monsters" are living as everyday people. What I thought refreshing, was the idea of an old fashioned quest for quest's sake. ...

My 14 yr old girl just finished The Lightning Thief and went on to devour Book 2 and Book 3 and would like to own Book 4 which came out in Hardcover. She also remarked that the "Nerdy Boy" her words, in her class also had read them and was surprised that she was reading and liking them.

#461 -- I'm listening to The Lightning Thief right now -- I wonder if it's the same reader? (Don't have it here with me, or I'd check.) I'm not thrilled with his reading, either, but I can deal with it. I've read the book before -- unless it's something fairly simple, I prefer to listen to ...

I really was going to go back and finish Tigana after I got distracted by The Lightning Thief (which was fun), but then amazon delivered The Name of the Wind and I made the fatal mistake: "I'll just read the first chapter to see how he writes." 100 pages later, I can't wait to get home ...

#69 is The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. It is the second in series that began with The Lightning Thief, and it is as entertaining as the first one. Although I'm almost a little afraid that the series will run out of myths, they go through them so quickly! #70 is The Translator by ...

I really like the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. It's a modern take on classical mythology, but the "gods" are not set up as objects of worship, so I would not think it would be problematic. It has a lot of action. I like to recommend it to kids, especially boys, ...

#62 is The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. This was a great book, and makes me very glad that I've discovered LibraryThing, and by extension people who might make good recommendations like this one! I don't think I ever would have heard of this otherwise. It was a very fun fantasy-adventure Y ...

My 9 year old is currently buried in the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series by Rick Riordan. The first one is The Lightning Thief. They must be good, I can't even tempt him away with video games! Plus, they're full of references to Greek mythology, and you can spin off in lots of ...

I voted for Coraline, The Lightning Thief, and My Sister's Keeper.

I voted for London Calling, 13 Little Blue Envelopes and The Lightning Thief....

I voted for The Lightning Thief, Alanna, and Magic Lessons.

What about the new series for young adults by Rick Riordian? There are three in the series. Lightning Thief, Titan's Curse, and Sea of Monsters. These are all good books and young adults really like them. They are retellings of the epic Greek stories about Perseus. They are about a ...

I'm in the middle of The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and the next book will either be my book club's pick for May, Freedom Writers Diary, or the oh-so-controversial Newbery winner The Higher Power of Lucky. Hmm...

I'm in the middle of Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and I've been surprised at how funny it is! Lots of clever little one-liners and asides.

I just finished reading The Lightning Thief, which was a lot of fun- it shares several common elements with Harry Potter, but is completely different in tone and feel. I can't wait to pick up the sequel!

I'm in for Sabriel and The Lightning Thief. I'm still waiting on I Am the Messenger since it's been out of print here. And I definitely put all of your suggestion on my list.

... Glass Wars by Frank Beddor and Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton. Also for a lighter, funnier fantasy read, I loved Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
