Summary

Brought to you by Puffin.

The first audiobook in the bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Discover the story behind the Disney+ series.

HALF BOY - HALF GOD - ALL HERO.

Look, I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid. . . until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.

Percy Jackson is having a bad week. His life has gone from totally normal to monsters-from-Greek-mythology-randomly-appearing kind of strange. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt - and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and stop all-out war from erupting on Mount Olympus. . .

What could possibly go wrong?

Ok performance

Great story but performances not as good (voice is very American)not saying that’s a bad thing but I’m English so it just sounds slightly unusual as I’m not used to it as much as an English accent

Great book poor performance

Having listened to Stephen Fry read Harry Potter and David Tennant read How to Train your Dragon we were really disappointed with the reader. But the story is fab so it was still a great listen.

Great but the narrator says the gods names wrong

This book is amazing I love it but the narrator says gods names wrong except for Zeus and Hades and I can’t listen to Luke’s voice. Otherwise I love the story and I’m really impressed by Rick Riordan’s work it’s generally great if they do the audiobook again without Jesse Bernstein I would listen to it. (Chose Steven fry)
