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?

Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" is the 5 books story and "The Lighting Thief" is the 1st part of the series. In the movie they tried to cover most of the important parts but as i said they cannot show everything that happening in the book and the second adaptation "Sea of Monsters" is fine for those who haven't read any of the books cuz they just ended the remaining 4 books in just 1 movie and you can self assume how would that ended up. So just read the books you won't regret reading them(less)
