Summary
Brought to you by Puffin.
The first audiobook in the bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Discover the story behind the Disney+ series.
HALF BOY - HALF GOD - ALL HERO.
Look, I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid. . . until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.
Percy Jackson is having a bad week. His life has gone from totally normal to monsters-from-Greek-mythology-randomly-appearing kind of strange. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt - and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.
Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and stop all-out war from erupting on Mount Olympus. . .

Hooked!
Would you listen to The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson, Book 1 again? Why?
Bought this to pass the time for my 10 year old daughter on some long journeys on holiday. Picked it mainly on the grounds that it was one of the longest books on offer, but we were all soon hooked - really enjoyed the story and the performance. Will have to listen to it again, as daughter kept sneaking into the car to listen to it by herself!
What other book might you compare The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson, Book 1 to, and why?
We have enjoyed the traditional Greek and Roman myths, Harry Potter and the Philip Pullman books. All have the same way of creating a whole world you can become absorbed in.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The whole bok was great - hard to single out a particular element.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Percy Jackson - half boy, half god, All hero! (has that already been done?!)
Any additional comments?
Loved this book, now read the paper version, and are moving on through the whole series.
Thoroughly recommended.

I have loved the book series for years. After a minute or two, the narration was easy to get into!
