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?
Sabri Adem Yes you should start reading the books because the movies don't really tell everything that is in the book. It adds things that were never in the book…moreYes you should start reading the books because the movies don't really tell everything that is in the book. It adds things that were never in the book. It also took parts of the story out of the movie which would have made the movie more entertaining. If you found the movie interesting then you would most likely love the books.
One thing that the movie took out is that they never explained how Thalia's pine tree was made. They also never revealed the prophecy until the second movie. And yes I know that your comment was 4 years ago(less)
