Character Review: Percy Jackson
5 stars (haha lol)
Percy Jackson is from the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series and The Heroes of Olympus series. Percy Jackson is the main character in both of these series. In the first series he is 12-14 years old and in the second series he is 15-17 years old. In Percy Jackson and The Olympians he saved Olympus and turned down the offer to be a god for his best friend Annabeth Chase, who later becomes his girlfriend. In The Heroes of Olympus he loses his memory and find the roman demigods, he gets his memory back and goes on an adventure to Greece with his old and new friends Annabeth, Hazel, Piper, Jason, Frank, Leo and Coach Hedge. They go to Greece to stop Gaea from rising and taking over the world. Percy is the son of Poseidon and Sally Jackson, his mom and step-dad live in New York City. He is ADHD and dyslexic, he has black hair and green eyes. He is very sarcastic and funny but becomes more serious throughout the series. His fatal flaw is that he will sacrifice anything for his friends.
I like him because, well, he's awesome, and he never gives up. He loves his girlfriend, Annabeth and will do anything for her. He is also sarcastic and I think that just makes him more likeable. I wish that Percy was in real life cause I bet that he would be really cute. He has cheated death in almost every book and, well, that's pretty awesome. I'm so glad I found these books and learned about Percy and his friends. These books teach that you should never give up on your friends and how important friendship is. I think Percy is a great influence on teenagers, and that is why I love him.

Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth
Divergent by Veronica Roth
5 stars
Tris lives in a world full of choices, at 16 she must chose which of the 5 factions (Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless or Erudite) she belongs in. When she takes her test that decides which faction she should go in it comes up inconclusive and she got 3 faction instead of 1, which are Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite. She is warned to never share this information since is makes her Divergent. When it comes time to choose she decides to leave her family in Abnegation and join Dauntless. When she and the others get to Dauntless she finds out from Four, their instructor, that they have to work hard and that not everyone gets to stay. Tris now has to survive along with her new found friends Christina, Al, and Will to stay in Dauntless.
I love this book because it gives good life lessons such as be brave and don't give up. Another thing I liked was that there was some romance, because I mean, every book needs a little romance right?
I wish there was more background on the charterers and the author could have worded the book better.
I would recommend this book to ages 13-15 and to teens who like action/adventure and romance novels.

Book Review: The Lightning Thief
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
5 stars
This story follows Percy Jackson, a 12 year old boy with dyslexia and ADHD. After a few monster attacks, Percy learns that he is a demigod, son of Poseidon and Sally Jackson. Percy then comes to Camp Half-Blood where demigods train and learn the skills of their godly parent. Percy soon learns that Zeus's master bolt has been stolen and he blames Percy. Along with his friends Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, Percy has to get Zeus's master bolt back and clear his name.
I like this book because I have always loved Greek mythology and it puts a spin on the old myths. I
also like the sarcastic and funny Percy who can make a joke in the worst situation. The great thing about the plot is the there is a lot to build off of like the author did with the rest of the series. I think it;s interesting that he leaves you with a cliffhanger every time and makes you want to read more into the series.
I dislike that the beginning was kind of slow. I think it should have had more detail on the characters right off the bat, but besides that there's not much more I dislike about this book.
I would recommend this book to both girls and boys for ages 11-14, who also like Greek mythology and action/adventure.
