(yes I know your comment was 6 years ago), but the movies don't even have 1% of the magic of the books, the books are simply AMAZING, not to mention that in the film they cut a lot of scenes, like "you drool while you sleep" , why thalia became a pine tree, the prophecy is only explained in the 2nd film. And when it comes to being childish, adults read these books!(less)
