But actually, you should read the book so you can participate in discussions about it. I'm in the middle of reading it (and I haven't watched the movies) and it's not the greatest. It's still okay though. Maybe it's just because I'm more used to books that are suited for older people like Y.A. or adult. I'm not used to books like the Percy Jackson series.(less)
