Review: Percy Jackson & The Olympians - The Lightning Thief Graphic Novel

-



As we know , Im not really huge on two things; The first is adventure stories but in saying this it depends what the adventure originates from as I love my pyschological adventures and the National Treasure type hunting stories and of course you can't go wrong with Jack Reacher.  The second is Graphic Novels, I don't mind them to say as you can get through them pretty quickly but nothing beats sitting down with a proper book.



The Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Lightning Thief: The Graphic Novel (Percy Jackson & the Olympians)

Review: The Percy Jackson and The Olympians : Lightning Thief : The Graphic Novel- Rick Riordan - October 2010

Think back to Greek mythology where the Gods ruled the world and then thousands of years later, the Gods decided that they wanted a bit of human action and came down to earth and had relationships with mortal women and men. This of course led to a whole world of half-gods aka Demigods being born and created. One of those Demi-Gods happens to be Percy Jackson. Percy has never been one for schools and it seems like all he is destined to is getting into trouble. However it will soon be revealed that the reason behind his doing bad in school is because he has God status written all over him . From his hyperactivity - the fact that he is a warrior at heart , his dyslexia - this is because his mind is programmed to read Ancient Greek not modern English.
The story starts when Zeus's lightning bolt disappears and he thinks that Posideon has hidden it and that he has given it to his son Percy, however at this point Percy doesn't realise he is related to Posiedon and soon a group of Furies are after him. For a modern day read on Furies "Check out Shirley Marr's book :The Fury". This forces Percy to head into his life as a demi-god and join a camp for others like himself , Here Percy will meet Athena's daughter and along with his friend Grover, they must seek to find the lightning bolt and help save the world from destruction.

    I'm new to developing internet sites and I was wondering if having your blog title related to your content really that crucial? I see your title, "Blogger: The Phantom Paragrapher " does seem to be spot on with what your website is about but, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
