         The Lightning Thief 
 Percy Jackson is an ordinary kid& until he figures out what he really is: son of the Sea God, Poseidon. As he trains at camp, he figures out that the Greek god Zeus is blaming him of stealing his master bolt.

         I would recommend this book to whoever is willing to read this great action packed adventure. One reason would be that it is greatly known and well liked by many people around the world.

                 Packed with humorous illusions to Greek mythology along with rip snorting action sequences, this book really shines-The Horn Book

                 New York Times Notable Book of 2005

                A Child Magazine Best Book of the year

           Another reason would be the action and power of the book. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and wondering what will happens next. The book will blow your mind .Every page has something exciting to keep you going.

Percy is static because it does not tell much about him. He is round because his personality, thinking, and more changes in and about him.
