Horror for Newbies
Ariana Jashari asked this question about The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1):
I have seen the movies and have been thinking about reading the books too, but I'm afraid that it'll be boring and childish. I love Greek mythology, though. Should I start reading these books or not?
Ninja The movies were NOTHING (zero) compared to the books in terms of amazingness.

I highly recommend to read it. It's srsly one of the BEST books I've read. I don't think anyone will dislike Rick Riordan's books once he/she reads it. U'll get hooked to it and never want it to end or leave it.

When I found the book. I vos like u. That perhaps they will be boring or HP's much better.
But now, it is my first book series (tied with others) and I simply love it!! The book also contains cracking jokes that may make u go lmao.

The movie director didn't make a fair movie. Wrong things added. Like Percy has to be on Annabeth's team in Capture The Flag, etc. Don't get me started on the mistakes.
Also, if ur 13 or above, read HOO. (less)
