1/3 of the way through The Lightning Thief.WOW.It seems that just yesterday I had no idea who Percy was or Grover,or anything about Greek gods or anything. Now I know so much,I can tell you which god I am! Well enough about me,now here comes the part about the book. Wait...I don't mean the book I mean the book.I know it is the book because when I finish reading and I know that I'm not suppose to read on,I still have he urge to.I just can't,but it's like a guilty pleasure. But I promise I haven't read on.I really don't have the time.I like it,but when they add a new character,it's like they just rush them in there without any background knowledge,but at the same time,when you find out,it give you that Ohhh moment,you know,the lightbulb affect. And when that happens,everything seems to just piece itself together like a puzzle.I like the way the author (Rick Riordan) displays Percy like a not-so-bright kid,because then it takes him longer to figure out what is going on,so it makes the book longer and more detailed.I also like Grover.He is my favorite character because he protected Percy the best way he could,and I think it's cool how he is half goat.I don't know why I think he's cool,but I just do.I can't wait for the movie to come out,and we can see it at the dollar movies. Maybe we can take a field trip on 50 cent Tuesday. Each ticket is 50 cents and they have $1 hotdogs.My favorite part is when Percy describes all the scenery at the camp,because it sounds like a pretty cool and ideal place to be. Except the bathrooms.I remember how Percy was saying in chapter 6 how they could at least afford better "johns"(toilets).I am so excited for the movie,and my heart has been pounding every time I open the book.I would like to look further into Greek Mythology so I could understand all the minotaurs ,gods,and half-bloods better.I get lost sometimes but Emaleigh helps me understand more about the book.I understand Greek Mythology (kind of) thanks to the book.I am gratefull for that,and I wonder what will happen next.CANT WAIT FOR THE MOVIEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
