Need to Read at Lightening Speed

In my English class we’re reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. But, instead of Tr. Scott reading aloud, we're listening to it on CD, and today I just couldn’t take it. The actor on the CD reads WAY too slow!  I decided to tune out the CD and I read ahead on my own.

I’m really starting to like The Lightning Thief and for me to really comprehend the story, I need to read at my own pace. I keep telling Mango Mama that at the end of this week, when school ends and summer vacation begins (YAY!), I’m going to have to buy the book so I can finish it because at the rate we’re going, we’ll never get to the end by Friday.  

My family and I checked out the movie, Percy Jackson & The Olympians:  The Lightening Thief, earlier this year, and when I think about the movie, I realize how much they took out of movie.  The book is a lot better. I can’t wait until I buy the book!!!!!
