With the Lord of the Rings making Hollywood studios go into a frenzy in adapting the many fantasy books out there, not everything Tinseltown touched turned to box office gold, and more often than not, save for that famous boy wizard, what could have been pilots of franchises, became no more than false starts. The people agreed the olive tree was more useful, and therefore named the city "Athens", in honor of Athena. The people realized the tree had many uses: Its fruit for eating, its wood for building and burning, the oil from its fruit for cooking, and for bathing, and the pits of the olives could be planted, therefore bringing up more olive trees. Unfortunately, the water turned out to be too salty, and therefore useless. Poseidon stuck his trident into the ground, and created a spring, from which the townspeople could use the water. Both agreed that they would bestow a gift onto the town, and whichever gift was deemed more useful, that giver would have the town named after him or her. The two choices were Athena and Poseidon, Percy's father. The citizens of the city were arguing over which god, after whom to name the city. The story she tells, is the Greek myth about how the capital city Athens got its name. 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.When in the Parthenon Museum, Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario) begins telling Percy (Logan Lerman) a story about her mother, Athena. 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. 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.
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. Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can’t seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. A fantastic audiobook for sure that has me thanking the gods I bought the series.

But what I found is that the movie isn’t as interesting and as good as the audiobooks. I am a big fan of the Percy Jackson Audiobooks series. In a world where heroes are sent on quests all the time and spent their lives training Percy is a rare breath of fresh air. Smart-mouthed, practical and fun Percy doesn’t go looking for trouble but he was born a hero, a combination of mortal and god parentage that he can not control. Move over Harry Potter Audiobook because Percy Jackson Audiobooks could kick your butt. As an audiobook written for young adults, I didn’t expect it to be as fun and engaging for an actual adult as it was. Audiobook ReviewĪn absolutely fantastic tale marvelously woven by the author Rick Riordan.
This audiobook tells of the main character, Percy Jackson, as he discovers a world much bigger than he has ever imagined but is immediately handed a quest to redeem himself from a crime he never committed. The audiobook was adapted into a motion picture and a graphic novel in 2010. The Lightning Thief Audiobook free, written by Rick Riordan, is the first audiobook in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Audiobooks series.
