WARNING: If you haven't read Percy Jackson and the Olympians yet STOP reading this blog post and go read those books. Really, stop because I don't want to ruin the story for anyone.
Percy Jackson is my second favorite story book character. I would say he's my favorite but that spot, I'm afraid will always be Harry Potter's spot. I absolutely love Percy though don't get me wrong. The books are amazing and Rick Riordan, like J.K. Rowling, is one of my many heroes just for writing these amazing books. I have only read the first and second books so far but I can't wait to read them all. I'm sure that just like reading Harry Potter I will try to drag out each book as much as possible so they won't end. I love the books because they are so adventurous and they have a little bit of mystery in them and there is always something going on and you can't stop reading one you've started.
I can't decide which book I like better. They were both amazing but I can't pick a favorite yet because I haven't read them all. I will continue to update this particular post as I read all the books and hopefully watch more Percy Jackson movies (assuming they make a movie for each book).
The movie was good and my favorite part of the movie was staring at two hours of Logan Lerman. Lerman is, I must say pretty sexy! He is technically supposed to be a twelve year old boy in the book. I think we can all tell that he's not exactly twelve in the movie. But that didn't stop me from watching it a million times! As for following the book, it gets a D+ in that category. The movie didn't really follow the book very well at all. The beginning of the movie went with the beginning of the book pretty well but as they got towards the middle of the movie, things started going different ways and then the whole idea changed. In the book, they are just trying to get to the underworld but in the movie they are on a quest to find the pearls to get out of the underworld.
I mean, no wonder the movie was so amazing, the guy who directed Percy Jackson directed the first Harry Potter movie so I guess he is just amazing! If I could talk to the director, I would highly encourage him to make more Percy Jackson movies. I would love to see what they come up with for the second movie because after reading the book, I think the movie would be pretty damn awesome. I would just like to know (if they make a second movie) how are they going to make the cyclops?
Rick Riordan has already started another series and I am so excited to read those books too! I am going to be busy with books this year! His new series is called The Heroes of Olympus. According to the Barnes and Noble website summary...there are some familiar faces in the book. They are about three kids (no, not the three you are thinking of) who are taken away to Camp Half-Blood and don't know what's going on. That's all the summary said so I really need to finish the Percy series so I can go out and buy those books!
Well, for all you Percy lovers out there, leave me some comments!
