Comparing Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief
Now, we are at the beginning. Every story has one and this story starts with some books. The best books ever to be read. These books are Percy Jackson books. But which book is really the best? Is it the first? Is it the fifth? Or is it the third? What do you think? Which is your favorite?

The first book that might be the best is in the very beginning. The Lightning Thief, the first book, is a very good book. It has action, suspense and we can actually relate to the main character. It has a very good plot line and lots of action. There is never a part that doesn't keep you on your toes. For example, my favorite part is when Percy and Annabeth first meet. It's kind of silly but has a lot of potentials to mean something later in the series. It is action packed and if

The best part of this book is... Well, I’m between two. Either it is the love story (obviously) or Hestia.(obviously) These might not be your favorite parts but they sure are mine! The love story. Percy and Annabeth’s love story grows throughout the book until the last book, where you finally realize the amazing chemistry working its way up to the peak. It is weird how awesome this book is because of the chemistry between Percabeth. (Percy and Annabeth) The other favorite part of mine is Hestia. Hestia is amazing because of how much she cares about family and protection. Hestia is the goddess of warmth and fire but there is so much more because she really loves her job of keeping fires lit. She is all about protection and would not rest if it meant that someone was to be harmed on her hands. She protects the heroes and deserves to really be the last Olympian.

These are all great books but in my eyes, the Last Olympian is the winner of the golden cup. You see, it has Hestia, Percabeth and lots and lots of adventure and suspense. Which is your favorite? Is it one of these or a totally different book? The second? The fourth? These sure are good

    Percy Jackson is the main protagonist of the last Olympian. Percy isn’t greed at because he turned down god hood. “Oh, not you although I suppose I should wonder turning down immorality” (Riordan, 355) after defeating Kronos he was given a offer to be a god. He is also funny “With great power... comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later”. Making funny remark and one liner makes him a funny character in general, this funny one liner was said after he obtained the curse of Achilles and they were outside the underworld. Percy is also caring for his friends and he would do anything to protect them. "You're cute when you get worried; your eyebrows get all scrunched together."(Riordan, 199) this was after Percy’s friend Annabeth was fatally…

    Percy Jackson has to go through the Road of Trials, The road of trials confronts you with takes or challenges. Percy has to face many characters on his road to fix the gods.

His ability to continually beat and out fight opponents allows the Road of Trials to be noticed and to form.

    I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was eight years old. It immediately became one of my favorite books. Over the next several years, I read the rest of the series many times, and I watched the entire series of movies almost as many times. However, I’ve never grown tired of re-reading and re-watching the first book and movie. The book, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone upon initial release in 1997, was re-titled later that same year as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for its US release. J.K. Rowling’s 310 page masterpiece was published by Arthur A. Levine Books, a branch of Scholastic Inc. The movie, also titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released in 2001 by Warner Bros.…

    One thing I loved about the book is the characters. Everybody has an identity that they will have to live by to cover their real one. Every half-blood has ADHD and is dyslexic because they need for fighting skill and understanding The Greek language.For example,like Chiron,he's supposed to be Mr.Bummer, a Latin teacher in a motorized wheelchair, but his real identity is a centaur, half man, and half horse. Another thing that I like was the…

    My favorite book, at the moment, but one I don’t think I’ll ever forget. The Tale Of Despereaux is by far, the best book I’ve read. It’s about a little mouse named Despereaux, who is the black sheep of the family, he likes to read the books in the king's library, not eat them, like his brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, one day, he falls in love with the princess, though, that’s forbidden. Without a second thought, he tries to get the princess’s attention, and when he does, his sibling finds out. Hurriedly telling their father, he was…

    I would be assigned books that would put me to sleep like Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry because it would have no action that I enjoyed. That’s when eighth grade happened. I saw this smart kid reading a book with a bland red cover with the title I am Number Four. At first I thought it was too advanced and boring so I didn’t bother reading it. Until that summer I went to the library and saw the book under the “Most Read” section and I gave it a shot. I could see why that kid wouldn’t put that book down during class. It made me feel so many emotions I’ve never felt before over a book and I couldn’t stop reading the series, again I wouldn’t do my homework and my parents would get mad because I would read too much for once! I have recently just finished all the books in the series up to this point and I’m waiting to get my hands on the one that just recently came out. I have read this series several times because I just thought it was so…

    Yes, I did like The Lost Hero. The book was full of adventure, anticipation and humor. It kept me on the edge of my seat. The battles were described so vividly and I loved how Riordan kept his characters interesting. The ending will probably remain with me. I kept wondering what Percy Jackson was going through in the Roman…
