Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief Review

I have done it! I read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief! 10/10! It was funny, had great characters, the world building was fantastic, and the plot was gripping! If you like Greek mythology you should definitely read it! If you don't like Greek mythology you should still read it!
~~~SPOILERS AHEAD~~~
Plot: I was very intrigued by the plot because I have always loved Greek mythology! (I probably should have read this sooner.) Rick Riordan has put us the mind of a demigod who goes on an adventure to find The Lighting Thief! Someone has stolen Zuess' thunderbolt and Percy needs to get it back or a war might start! There were twists and turns when you least expected them! The plot gets 10/10

Characters: 
           Percy Jackson - He had me laughing almost the entire time! (Out loud) He didn't give up when Hades had his mom! He didn't just run when Ares fought him! He (with help from Sally) killed stinky Gabe! (He outsmarted me a few times.) 
           Annabeth Chase - She was extremely smart and witty but also was sweet. She had a great backstory that I can't wait to find out more about!
           Grover: He was my favorite out of the main three! He ate tin cans and dreamed about finding Pan! I just hope he finds Pan and makes it back safe! 
    The characters get 10/10

World Building: I feel like the first book should always have good world building but never be too slow. The world building wasn't boring at any moment, but I want to know more! (And hope to find more in the next books!) World building gets a 10/10 

In the end, I know I will continue this series and it may even become a new favorite! Let me know in the comments who you're favorite character of the main three was and if you were late to series like me! 

     Thoughts I had during this book: 
 ~Percy you're going to get Grover killed.
 ~Grover is a GOAT?!
 ~I love Annabeth.
 ~Luke seems a little off to me. I don't like him.
 ~Percy you're going to get yourself killed.
 ~Annabeth is playing fetch with the hellhound. Oh no.
 ~Don't VISIT HADES. *facepalm*
 ~Percy you're going to get Annabeth killed.
 ~IT WAS ARES *gasp*
 ~Percy you're going to get EVERYONE KILLED.
 ~Medusa's head! You genius!
 ~Percy you saved everyone.
 ~WOW.
