So I've decided that it's time to do another book review. And this was is for The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan. This is the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series and it's where we find out that the Greek gods didn't vanish, they just went to another part of the world. What I really love about this series is that we have the Greek gods in the modern world and it's the same problems that the gods had before. Percy is accused of stealing Zeus Master Bolt, the weapon that was made for him that helped him defeat his father.
Percy goes on a quest with Annabeth, daughter of Athena and Grover. They have to go through many parlous challenges including Medusa, the Lotus Eaters, Gods, and much, much more. In the end he finds out who stole the bolt, will not tell, and who is causing all the problems. I really enjoyed this book, as I've said before, and I would recommend it to anyone. Of course, it's not a good study of Greek religion, but it does peek the interest in the gods.
