The Lightning Thief

I just finished The Lightning Thief, which makes three books read this year. I am still far behind, but I am planning on reading this whole series (5 books) and they are all fairly short, easy reads. I really enjoyed this book. It was like a short Harry Potter book. I have not seen the movie yet, but now that I have read the book I am looking forward to seeing it. This book is full of Greek mythology, which I studied about in Art History this last semester. Greek mythology is so interesting to me and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
