Percy Jackson and Lightning Thief
By - Rick Riardon
If you wanna read some interesting fantasy book, I’ll recommend ‘Percy Jackson and The Lightening Thief’. This book properly combined Greek Mythology and 21 century’s life. The main character of ‘Lightning Thief’ is Percy Jackson, he had a really hard time with his step-father. He is in problem child school. Even in there, there was no one to play with Percy, except Grover. Grover and Percy are best friend. Percy, Percy’s mom and Grover went to trip to beach. On the way to the beach, Minotaur suddenly came out, and take Percy’s mom. Percy get faint. When he wake up, in front of him there was Satyrs, which is Grover. Percy was Half Blood, and he was in Half Blood camp. In that camp, they met a girl named Annabeth. She was daughter of Athena. At that time, Zeus get stolen his lightning, and he guess that the thief will be Percy. One day, Percy notice that his real father is Poseidon. So Percy, Grover and their new friend Annabeth leave on a journey.

Life, like racing isn’t simply about going fast
“ The art of racing in the rain”, this is really interesting book. You would feel bored if you just see the title. The main character is a dog called ‘Enzo’. He shows his thought. Another main character is the master of Enzo who is called Deny. He is the character that you mostly respect. Denny is the car race driver and he is very good at that. Denny had a wife that is dead called Eve. S he thought Enzo was just a bad dog or just a dog. Denny has one child that called ‘Zoe’.
I really enjoyed this book and think you will too! It is about the relationship between Enzo, the dog and his master Deny. Deny sacrifice many things for his dog. Enzo took very good care of his master.
This book had won several prestigious awards. The New York Time Best Seller and 10th bestselling book of 2010 in the category of Adult Fiction. I highly recommend this book!
