Horror's Greatest Hits
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?
Nancy Yes, the books are pretty amazing. The movies are not that great in comparison but in my opinion the books are usually better than the movies anyway. …moreYes, the books are pretty amazing. The movies are not that great in comparison but in my opinion the books are usually better than the movies anyway. You just can't fit everything in a book to a movie. It is such a nice twist on the whole Greek mythology though, it is definitely a good read.(less)
