Publisher's Summary
Until the Minotaur chases him to summer camp.
Suddenly, mythical creatures seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. The gods of Mount Olympus, he's coming to realize, are very much alive in the 21st-century. And worse, he's angered a few of them: Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.
Now Percy has just 10 days to find and return Zeus's stolen property, and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. On a daring road trip from their summer camp in New York to the gates of the Underworld in Los Angeles, Percy and his friends, one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena, will face a host of enemies determined to stop them. To succeed in his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of failure and betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

Great road trip companion
My 7 year old and I make quite a few long road trips a year, this book and the series have been great road trip companions.
The narrator is clever, and offers distinct interpretations of each character. My son wants to visit Greece in the near future to see the places referenced in the stories. Great balance of modern world meets ancient Greek mythology, fun, lighthearted listen. Content is a bit mature in a few points for age 7, but we used them as teaching moments. #Audible1

Loved it!!!
I forgot how good this book is, it’s been a while since I last read this book and I’m so glad that I picked it up again but in audio book form this time. It was nice to listen to this novel instead of reading it.

For all ages!!
Even though this book is geared towards older children or early teenagers (I am in my 20's), I really enjoyed this book! I had just finished reading Mythos by Stephen Fry and it was definitely easier to follow and understand the gods personalities in this book. However, you don't need a lot of prior Greek mythology knowledge to read this book. The story was well structured, didn't leave loose ends, and had good character connections and development. This was definitely a fun read and I am excited to listen to the rest of this series!

it was alright
The book was amazing, but the narrator had some words pronounced not as I used to and some of the scenes sounded weird, I wasn't a fan of some of the tone choices used while narrating, but no biggie, it was overall still quite engaging

Love this series!
I heard that Disney + is remaking the Percy Jackson series, and I decided to read the books, but I’m currently working right now so I used Audible. The movie and the books are totally different and recommend you read the books.

Voices… interesting
I love this book and I’ve read it many times. Absolutely fire. This reading is good, but Bernstein’s voice for Luke is absolutely hilarious. It’s like an exaggerated chad bro voice and it’s impossible to take seriously. I needed to write this review because I literally cannot believe that someone thought this voice was a good idea. You have to hear it to believe it. All the voices are insanely funny in this reading.
