Book Review 1: The Lightning Theif

            This book was great, suspense and drama filled my mind while reading this book. Not one second did I ever think about putting this book down. Though I wouldn’t read it a second time, because I never read a book more than once. From start to end, the book just keeps dragging me into the world of Percy. I love Greek mythology personally, and reading this book taught me a lot about it. I was disappointed at the ending book it was a huge cliff hanger and at the time couldn’t afford the next book, but it was worth reading it. You should always experience the beginning of a tale, or you’ll never truly understand the rest. When Rick wrote "Go on with what your heart tells you, or you will lose all." That was really inspirational, and I think everyone should read this and really listen to what it means. In my opinion, I think it means don’t be afraid to do what you want, because in the end, you might lose something important to you. Another good one that Rick wrote was "Where's the glory in repeating what others have done?". Some people like repeating what others have done for the attention, but I think you shouldn’t do good deeds for the attention of others. You should always do good things because you know it’s right, and probably shouldn’t ask anything for return, like attention or rewards. 
            I recommend this book to anyone around the ages of 13, because Percy at the time, was 13 years old. You’ll see the decisions he make are similar to some of the things you’d do at that age. When I read this book I was 13, and it was very interesting cause I can almost put myself in the position of the main character. I love when stories get so vivid that I have the ability to do that.
