So, I'm a hundred some odd pages into the fourth book and loving the series. I saw the movie before I read the books so it was really good until I realized...well...it's the movie of the book, what can I do?

Just wondering what everyone around ToO thinks about this series, and how much if any they've read about it.

I haven't read the books or watched the movie, but I know a little bit about them! From what I know, the series doesn't interest me.

However, I could tell you how much money the film made in theaters! ;)

Its okay! Actually it was a lot better then I thought. I've only read the first book (it was required for a contest).

I haven't seen or read it, but i have heard a ton about it from a younger girl on base. She is head over heels in love with Percy Jackson, it is both cute and annoying. lol

I started the first book and found it.. boring. My sister read all 5 books. I want to see the movie though. Sounds more exciting then what the book was, lol.

If you prefer fetch-quest based storyline to direct heroes journey based storyline, than yes, the movie is better. Especially if you're more entertained by audiovisual stimuli than by text. I do highly recommend the movie, unless you've already read the book in which case it's poop avoid it.

I haven’t read the books but I saw the first movie and just watched the Disney+ series. If you’ve seen both of them, which one did you like better?

I've seen the new Disney+ series and it was pretty fun. Good action, family friendly, sense of humour, interesting characters. I haven't read the books or seen the former films, so I can't speak to how they compare.
