I took Ian to see The Lightning Thief. It came out while we were in Virginia. He read the entire book and started on the second book in the series, Sea of Monsters, and he HAD to see it. I thought the movie was excellent. I read the book also, and the movie stayed pretty true to it. Ian, on the other hand, was disappointed. He said, "They took a lot of stuff out of the movie that was in the book!" I explained they could not possibly put everything in the movie that was in the book, and he was okay with that. His final word on the matter?
"The book was better." Aren't they always? To see the trailer, go here: The Lightning Thief.
