If you love Greek mythology, you're gonna love this series by Rick Riordian. These books are an easy read, and so much fun. They are just incredible. I love Greek myths, and so when I saw one of my friends reading the first book, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, I became interested and started reading them too. It's hard to explain what Riordian does in these books. He takes Greek myths and puts them into our current world. And it works. Really well. I learned more about Greek mythology just by reading these books. And they're funny! Written in first person from the point of Percy Jackson, a lot of laughs erupt while reading. Percy is just like a few of my friends and myself - very sarcastic. I love it. With chapter titles like "I Go Cruising With Explosives," "I Took The Worst Bath Ever," "I Battle the Cheerleading Squad," "Nico Buys Happy Meals for the Dead," "I Learn How to Grow Zombies," "Thalia Torches New England," "I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher," "Three Old Ladies Knit Socks of Death," "I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom," and many others, these books are absolutely hilarious. Trust me, and read these great books.
