The book is better than the movie.

Point 1. The book was more interesting. I think this becauase in the movie it left out a lot of the book. The movie was good but it missed a lot of information that would make it more intresting. Like when Mrs. Dodds and Percy see each other again on the bus, but this time Mrs.Dodds comes with her sisters. Also Ares was in the book. They did not use that information in the movie. I think that if they added these events in the movie it would be a lot more interesting.

Point 2. You can imagine the characters anyway you want to. Sometimes when you read a book, you imgaine places or people (anything) the way YOU want to. Sometimes when you see the movie you are a little disapointed because you imagined the characters a certain way and when you actually see what they look like you change your opinoin about them. This has happend to me several times. It happend to me in this movie aswell. Like Annabeth, in the book Annabeth had curly blond hair. In the movie she had Longk, straight, brown hair. Imagine if... You read a very interesting book and you imagine the characters a certain way. Like how 'd they act if you were to meert them. Then you see the movie and they are the oppisite of what you think they looked like. It is more fun to imagine a character the way you want to.

Point 3. There is more detail. there is so much more detail in the book than in a movie. The reason for that is because it is very hard to fit a 200+ page book into a hour or two movie. It very rarely happends that a movie is better than a book. However I think that it depends on the person most of the time. In the movie they left out a lot of chapters and important events from the book. Like about Annabeths magic cap, that makes her invisible. Little details like that make the book more interesting. When small details come together they make a lot of information that is crucial information to the book.
