Percy Jackson "The Lightning Thief"

What did you think about the first book? If you saw the movie, what are your thoughts? Compare and contrast it to the book if you like. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts.

I didn't like the movie because the movie wasn't true to the book. For example, the Minotaur was too big and their wasn't a pine tree on the middle of half blood hill.

I liked the book better than the movie because I could use my imagination.

Kiran,
I haven't seen the movie yet, like nicole, but I enjoy your thoughts. I also would like to know what you liked the most about the book, and which is your favorite book so far.

Nicole,
Why do you like book 1 more than book 2, so far. I look forward to reading both of your thoughts.

I'm not that far in the second book but i liked the fighting and the ation more in the first book then in the second book. And i think Grover and Annabeth and Percy are a team for all of the quests but grover did have to go and save Pam.

My favorite book in the Percy Jackson series was book 2 because Percy had to travel to such interesting places, and as I read I could make interesting pictures in my mind. I especially liked the island of Calypso.
As far as comparing the book to the movie, I liked the actor who was selected to play Percy. He looked like a typical teenager, especially as he listened to his iPod. I also liked the way music was used in the soundtrack. PokerFace by Lady GaGa fit with the unreal craziness of the casino. However, the movie was not as good, in my opinion, as the book. So many excellent details had to be edited out to fit the story into movie form.
Enjoy the books and keep reading!

I changed my mind on liking the first book better than the second book. I finished the second book two days ago maybe three. Now I am reading the Titans Curse.

I liked the book better than the movie because the movie left out a lot of parts from the book, like Crusty, and Cerberus.
