Sea of Monsters Trailer

We have 2 months to wait before the second Percy Jackson movie comes out!!!! I am so excited about Sea of Monsters. The trailer is epic and I was so excited to see Grover again. He is awesome and I adore him <3 Also did you notice that they fixed the whole Annabeth issue? Well I did and I couldn't be happier with the change.

For those of you who don't know. A lot of the fans of the book were upset because the director if the Lightning Thief left Alexandra Daddario's hair brown when in the books her hair is blonde. As a blonde myself this really irritated me. Blondes in movies are typically stupid airheads. I was so excited to see a strong, kick-ass, blonde in a popular movie. Then it didn't happen. But the director and producers listened to the fans and had the actress dye her hair for the second movie.

Additionally, from the look of the trailer, they made the movie look a lot darker and more serious than the Lightning Thief which makes me very happy. So what do you guys think of the trailer? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Michelle Review's: Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief

When I picked up this book, I wasn't expecting to love it. I thought it would be one of those fun reads that you can complete in a night; nothing more, nothing less. Well It was a fun, quick read, but it is also one of those books that contain characters that will live in your heart forever.

The story is about young demigods. Demigods are created when a God and a mortal have a child. The Demigod that narrates this book is of course Percy Jackson.

Percy is a 12-year old boy that is just trying to get through middle school in one piece. He lives with his mom and his awful stepdad "smelly Gabe". Percy narrates with humor and sarcasm throughout the book. When Percy finds out his true heritage he goes to Camp Half-blood where he meets Grover the satyr and Annabeth daughter of Athena. Together they go on an epic journey to find Zeus's lighting bolt. On their quest, they meet Ares, Medusa, Poisiden, Hades, The Furies, and more than enough greek monsters.

Not only is this book good for a laugh, but it is also a really fun way to learn Greek mythology. As you read, you feel as if you are personally in the presence of all of the Gods and creatures.

I cannot wait to continue the journey with Percy and his friends!

This is definitely not a book to judge by its cover. It is so much more than a children's book and certainly deserves a prime space on my book shelf.

So what did you think about The Lighting Thief? Do you want to read it now? Let me know in the comments below!
