The movies based on the Percy Jackson series are completely different from what the books say. As most of these things go, I've seen the movies first, and I am now reading the entire series. They have only made movies for the first and second book and I am on the fourth. The movies revolve around a more older version of Percy who seems more mature. Lots of things are different because that's just how Hollywood works. It's sad, really. When I read a book as good as The Lightning Thief I look for the similarities between the movie and the book. When everything was so different in the book I was shocked. It made me kind of wonder what the author, Rick Riordan, thinks about the producers of the movie series. You'd think he would be pretty mad. I know I would be. If you thought about all the work that he put into this amazing series, and how the movie business just took it away by changing them so drastically. I would like to hope that the third movie is much more similar to the third book than the previous movies have been.
