I really enjoyed this book. I had been avoiding it for about 2 years because I knew it was about Greek Gods and mythology and I figured I'd be lost. Even after many people said, "No, you'd enjoy it even if you know nothing about mythology," I still didn't read it. Then Riley read it and she devoured it. This is not her typical reading, so I gave it a try. I highly recommend it for the 4th grade and up crowd. Reagan was a little scared by it yet, so not a read aloud for him. That's alright, there is always Gregor!

"The Lightning Thief" is perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats, and mysteries opening out in sequence. The action never feels gratuitous; it draws its depth from the myths at its source. Riordan's fast-paced adventure is fresh, dangerous, and funny.
