Review-Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (Movie)

Ok how do I put this?... This movie stunk but Logan Lerman made it all perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So as I have said before I am a complete and I mean COMPLETE  sucker for Logan Lerman! I had heard lots of negative reviews on this movie and I am afraid that I have to agree with most of them. I mean they made Annabeth a brunette. Seriously?!?!?! Her blond hair was one of the things that she was known for!!! And they completely left out Luke and Annabeth's relationship. Hades was a Mick Jagger idiot and even Zeus and Poseidon were done all wrong!

But Logan was in the movie so really who cares??

Grover was pretty good!

Mick Jagger idiot. (Sorry Hades)

Acting wise she was OK...

I just had to add this pic! :)

Lightning Thief!

Catching Fire

I am in shock!!! Ok... Well I was yesterday afternoon when I finished the book! Now I am over the shock but am still processing what happened. I found that I was far more emotionally unprepared in this book. In the Hunger Games I felt prepared like Katniss and on top of things! But in the second book I was swept away (Like Katniss) and I kept having to stop and think!! I can't say to much because it would spoil the book for those who haven't read it, but it was a shocker!!!!!
(Also for people who are reading this post I actually posted it in early April but because of an update glitch it says that I posted it today. 8/12.)

Review-The Sea of Monsters By:Rick Riordan

Summary-
As I said in my review of The Lightning Thief- "I'm afraid that every summary I found online spoiled what happens in the story and I am awful at writing that sort of thing myself so if you want to know what happens I have a secret way to tell you..... *psst over here*    READ THE BOOK!!! :)

My Thoughts-
I love this series! It isn't anywhere near being a challenge to read, yet it isn't a 7 year old's story book either. This book's reading level is meant for kids around 12 years of age which would normally be perfect since I'm 12 but I was reading The Lord of the Rings at age 7 (and enjoying it) so I'm not exactly your average 12 year old reader. So because of how easy it is I have to make it a 4 star but the story line itself deserves 5 stars! Again I love reading about Mythology and gods and goddesses so this was another favorite

Character Notes-
In the beginning of The Lightning Thief Percy was... lets face it... a .wimp. But he is changing into a much more confident person. So much so that when someone makes a decision that he doesn't agree with, he will go ahead and do what he thinks is right. That being something the old Percy never would have done.


Story Notes-
I love Riordan's writing style so much! One of the things that stand out to me about it is his tendency to have his characters make funny remarks in the midst of a battle or dire situation. I can't help but smile!


Summing It Up-
I love this book even if it is somewhat of an easy read! 4/5 stars!

Hello Everyone! My have I had a busy last four weeks! This was my second year of Encore at the Academy of Fine Arts! This year we performed Music Man Jr. The Music Man was the first show that I was ever in and I have also performed multiple songs from it in the Americana Shows over the last couple of years so I know this show like the back of my hand! I had a blast! Sunday was our final performance and it went great!

I'm not sure how many people heard about this but where I live in VA and many of the surrounding counties lost power for anywhere from 3 to 8 days! My house lost power for around 5 days and it was also during a heat wave!!! But we have recouped from that, and now that camp is over things are beginning to return to normal!!!
