Mini-Review! - Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

percy jackson lightning thief book coverTitle: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (also published as just 'The Lightning Thief.')

Author: Rick Riordan

Genre: Kids, Fantasy, Mythology

Series: Percy Jackson (aka Percy Jackson and the Olympians) #1

Amazon: UK - USA


Verdict:

I really enjoyed this - though perhaps not to epic fangirling levels, like most people seem to.
It was fun though, as well as interesting and entertaining. I loved the random chapter titles.
The ebook I borrowed from the library was clearly aimed at a British market because it took Americanisms like 'mom' and 'chips' and anglicised them to things like 'mum' and 'crisps.' Unfortunately, this came across as just strange - particularly as it wasn't consistent throughout. 
I really did enjoy it though - and will probably read more of the series in future.

  2. I hope you do keep on reading more in the series! I mean, I love these books like crazy - to the epic fangirling levels. But I think you need to read more and have an appreciation before the general series before that kicks in. I am glad you were able to enjoy book one though.
