Examining Books

A place to record the books I've read. With a short review on each. I strive to never tell too much of the story to ruin it for anyone. BUT, if it is a picture book, I often tell the endings. “Of course anyone who truly loves books buys more of them than he or she can hope to read in one fleeting lifetime. A good book, resting unopened in its slot on a shelf, full of majestic potentiality, is the most comforting sort of intellectual wallpaper.” ― David Quammen

Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

The Lightning Thief

This book is as good as everyone has said. I really enjoyed reading it. I was trying to finish it before I watched the movie. Yay, I can now watch the movie.

Percy Jackson is the main character in the book. Percy is a boy that trouble seems to follow. There are reasons trouble follows him and this book is all about those reasons.

There are many Mythology legends that are talked about and many Percy finds are not just legends. Quite the adventuresome book!
