Read by Jesse Bernstein.
Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse -- Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon, a mystery unfolds and together with his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena -- Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.

The Lightning Theif submitted by nlemerand on June 24, 2011, 2:50pm The cover may look weird but this book will set you off your feet in no time, right when you read the first page

cool submitted by readingking on July 15, 2011, 3:36pm the book can be read or listened to

GREAT GREEK submitted by ferdoble on August 2, 2011, 4:34pm WOW, what a great series. Very formulaic, but still very good, you’ll see what I mean. It made me want to go review my old ancient empire text books.

epic submitted by JoshiAmrita on August 8, 2012, 1:59pm an epic

AWESOMENESS!!!!!! submitted by sherm on June 16, 2013, 5:45pm sweet book with suspense,action and lots of excitement

Fun and Learning submitted by rlmorgan on June 22, 2013, 11:38am A good book that is both fun to listen to/read but also learn from. It was a fun way to review Greek Mythology. Would be great for kids but is also interesting as an adult.

Super submitted by lec.dank on July 26, 2013, 10:32pm Great plot

:) submitted by waffoo2 on August 11, 2013, 6:28pm I love the book on CDs better because it makes it feel like someone is telling you the story and it feels like it's Percy talking. :)

Grusome submitted by Lilymarie on July 8, 2014, 1:45pm I love the percy Jackson series, This one Is My Favorite

Great for a road trip submitted by jdgerich on July 26, 2014, 2:55pm This kept an 11-year old boy mesmerized throughout a 10-hour road trip. Great story - can't wait to hear the rest of the series.

Lightning Thief submitted by SBNB on July 30, 2014, 1:47pm I didn't have many expectations before picking up this book, but even so, I was somewhat disappointed. The word I end up using over and over to describe this series is cheesy. I don't know if it's an attempt at humor or what, but all it has me doing is rolling my eyes.

Wonderful submitted by sarai koster-mockeridge on August 26, 2015, 6:51pm A wonderful, engaging, and educational adventure novel about Greek gods, goddesses, and monsters!

helped me submitted by Shahed on June 24, 2018, 8:36pm it's great when ur not in the mood of actually reading the book, or ur a very slow reader

Excellent Series! submitted by Cherrytreelane on July 29, 2018, 11:21pm Enjoyable to read or listen to for the whole family! Great adventures, fun roman and greek mythology references that you'll catch time and again, so well done!

Recommended! submitted by Xris on August 27, 2018, 10:45pm For those who struggle with school, it's great for them to hear a character who also struggles in school. And I love the Greek mythology that it teaches you too!

Great submitted by shivatavane on July 1, 2019, 5:37pm It is a bad-okay story for good and evil.

Greek mythology submitted by nirmala on July 27, 2021, 9:43pm One of the best in this series

Great book to start off with submitted by sumisood on July 24, 2023, 11:34pm There are so many monsters from Greek mythology that Percy meets!
