Book Review: ***The Lightning Thief

  This book is written by Rick Riordan.  This book is basically Harry Potter in the setting of the Greek gods instead of witchcraft.  Olympus is above New York and the Underworld is below Los Angeles.   The author must not care for L.A.

The book was an enjoyable read, and had some tense moments.  The main character turns out to be the illegitimate child of Poseidon.

I worried about the book promoting belief in gods ra
ther than God.  I also worried about the morals.  So I would mildly recommend this book.

  1. If you judge the entire series by the first book, i would mildly agree with you, the series as a whole is good, with lots of satire of classic greek mythology.... i will agree, the morals are questionable at times but your morals would be questionable too in a world where the manipulative greek deities were in charge. Keep reading the series, you will not be dissapointed billy.
