Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Book 1)

zaira_acosta shared a tip "It was good and a fast read, but I missed the opportunity to read this when I was a kid, cause I would've LOVED it then. Now it just sounds too young for me to truly enjoy it. Don't get me wrong though, I liked the book a lot. The movie did not do justice to the book AT ALL."

destiny_ricks_ shared a tip "Books are much better; the movie just didn't have enough time to really get into the world. Percy Jackson made me fall in love with Greek mythology"

jennie_rulison shared a tip "Currently on the last book in The Harbinger series by Jennifer Armentrout. It's not very similar to Percy Jackson, but my current favorite series"

leilani_sungalu shared a tip "Am I the biggest PJO fan? Yes. Yes I am. Amazing book series. So many crazy adventures that held onto me through every plot twist."

nicky_white shared a tip "I've enjoyed all of Rick Riordan's books! Admittedly, I'm a few decades older than his target audience 😄, but I love to read books that give me a break from reality, and make me laugh. As long as I remember it's written from the POV of a 15 year old boy, this series checks both those boxes."

bookobession shared a tip "This book was a really fun and adventurous. Lots of mythology, and has lots of plot twist. I rate this book a 4/5. #greekmythology"

ashley_reed_7211 shared a tip "This book is about Greek gods and half bloods that have to fight battles. Also mentions ADHD and dyslexia in a positive light. #fantasy #drama #action"

becca_griffin shared a tip "These books are amazing for so many reasons. I hated reading until I started this series and it’s honestly changed my life over the last 11 years. I’m in my 20s now and I still read these books when I need a pick me up and when I feel like things are spiraling or I can’t understand how certain things are happening in the world. Riordan does an amazing job of representing everyone in this series and the sequel series. It’s an easy read, but it’s filled to the brim with amazing themes and morals, relatable characters who have deep and realistic character arcs, and they’re just fun to read. I definitely recommend these to people of all ages."

jj_2596 shared a tip "If you like Greek gods and drama and supernatural thing then this is the book for you such a great book read it in 5th grade and was in love got all the books cant wait to read over 100/10 such a great book and recommend and they also have the movies and has such a strong male and female which they mention Annabelle as a strong person and not easy to talk down to such a great powerful female role model and gotta love that in a book if not then that book is no good definitely recommend!!!!!!"

riot_ray shared a tip "Aurora Rising and the second book Aurora Burning has me a bit obsessed right now. It's more of a sci-fi adventure and it's not finished yet though."

arturo_arjona shared a tip "It is a great teen read with adventure, it has a good world building and is the first book in a great series, I also love mythologies and Rick Riordan is an expert on working with this"

ava_monroe shared a tip "Its great book. I read it for the first time in 4th grade, and as a 10th grader its still a great example of my style of workdbuilding. Highly recommend!"

panicked_shrieking shared a tip "Great for kids, I wouldn't be the same if I hadn't read it. This series really helped me cope with my ADHD and kids making fun of me for. Being adopted. Rick Riordan was really important to many people's childhoods."

jodi_balado-maciasz shared a tip "I always feel the first in series like this are the best, because it creates a whole new world for you, you know? Like Harry Potter, for instance. All of them were amazing. Some had better action, some had a better story, but the first will always be my favorite, because I'll never forget the feeling of being introduced to that world for the first time. It's the same with Percy."

aaron_schmidt_606 shared a tip "In the first series, my favorite is the 5th, The Last Olympian. I loved the growth of all the characters, plus it had a good conclusion."

ryver_lamone shared a tip "The series is heavily based in greek mythology; so if you like Greek mythology, you'll enjoy the books. Even if you don't know anything about greek mythology, it is still very enjoyable. The characters are dynamic, and the world building/character building can keep your attention. It is also very inclusive when it comes to diversity as well. Yeah, I'd say it's worth while."

presley_reed shared a tip "I like the first one best the rest are good but I feel like they get more and more boring.dont get me wrong it's a great sires but they start to kinda run out of ideas"

sarah_delaney_3920 shared a tip "This is my favorite book series ever, it might be aimed towards teens but it can still be enjoyed by everyone. It teaches you lots of Greek mythology but at the same time doesn't lose its humor. I recommend it to anyone. This series will always have a special place in my heart."

brianna_jane_fleming shared a tip "It was fast-paced and had an amazing plot! Never a dull moment, I loved it so much and definitely recommend the Percy Jackson series!"
