​ __The Book Is Better Than the Movie__

Point One: The book had more details.

The book was significantly better than the movie because it had more details. Things like Percy jumping off the Golden Arch was suspensful and exciting. It made the book an instant favorite. Also, the ironic twist at the end with Kronos was entriguing and it made me want to read the other books to come. With the movie, it was as if the producers were rushing to make the movie so they could get it over with. Also there were no fates or oracle Delphi which would foretell Percy's fate. Why would you ever watch something that is nothing close to the original? Only the worst of people with the worst taste in cheap entertainment would watch such garbage as this.

Point Two: The Book Gave a Better Description of The Situation that had To Be Solved

Another reason why the book was better than the movie was becuase it gave a better description of the situation that had to be resolved. The movie just flat out informed us that Percy is son of Sea God Posieden. While the book took it slowly and got us supensed and then culminated. In The Lightning Thief, Hades' helm of darkness was missing and so was the master bolt which created a fuss between the bretheren. In the end of the book, Kronos (the father of Zeus, Poseiden, Hades, etc.) had put Luke up to the task while in the movie, he wasn't even mentioned! This is highly despisable and I would not recommend this movie. Reading the book would be like going on an amazing roller coaster. You can't miss it. Without Percy's dreams, this movie was like french fries without ketchup. Percy's dreams was the things that gave the plot away, cunningly yet swiftly and slowly. That is the only feeling you can get from a book.
