What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?

Something that bothered me in The Lightning Thief was the gods traveling. I wish the gods would stay in Greece to bring more of the Greek culture out instead of just bringing only one part of the culture. Also putting the Gods some where else then Greece is very weird to hear. Something strange that also happened is when the Percy gets the quest and that creepy mummified person.

Explain how the author creates suspense in this book.

The Author creates suspense by mentioning clues to what will happen. Like the three old ladies that cut the string, and they only show up when someone is going to die. Or when Percy gets the quest and the oracle says he will return what was stolen, lose something close to him, and someone will turn on him. It keeps raising more questions of what will happen.
