Praise for Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief
"He has a knack for showing readers a crazy good time"
- New York Times Book Review
"Riordan's fast-paced adventure is fresh, dangerous, and fun. Percy is an appealing, but reluctant hero, the modernized gods are hilarious, and the parallels to Harry Potter are frequent and obvious. Because Riordan is faithful to the original myths, librarians should be prepared for a rush of readers wanting the classic stories"
- Chris Sherman from the American Library Association
