Percy has taken us on another voyage. Our book club is on book two for next week. This week we are discussing the similarities and differences in the movie and The Lightening Thief. Actually the only true similarieties are the characters' names. The book and movie are so different it is like we did not read the same book the screen writers read. I wonder if the author had any input into the movie. I realize they could not cover the whole book in a movie but they should at least visit the same places or have the same quest in mind. I could not believe they left the oracle out.
Percy was still a demigod but that is it. He did have the same friends but their reasons for the quest were so totally different so it changed the plot line. The movie was okay if you have not read the book but do not see if you have ventured into the literary element.
