The Lightning Thief

My frame of reference for the quality of the book is kinda wack because I saw the movie first. I also read along with a podcast chapter by chapter, which is very fun and also agonising. I don't absolutely love it, though I think much of that had to do with the fact that it definitely was a 2005 kinda book. 

The story was great although I don't love how fast-paced it was. Because of that, the ending was very anticlimactic and underwhelming. It's mostly just conversations. I know there are 4 more books and I don't know if I will get that far but I am certainly reading along with the podcast until I finish the second book.
