UH, well nightstar is wrong. The lightning thief is what brought me read the books. I watched the film when it came out in English cinemas on my 10th birthday and so watched it without ever reading the book. it is the only film that has ever convinced me to read a series apart from the hunger games. Next to the book, the film is terrible but as a film it is actually pretty good, even when I watch it now after I read the book.

As 4 the 2nd film, it broke my heart. I made a huge build up to watching that film, wearing my chb T-shirt, going to the archery centre And everything. The first film didn't follow the patern of the 1st book because the people who made the film never read the book. The second film I think they did read the book but were changing things 4 the point of changing things. You still have doubts? Check out cassjaytuck's review on utube.
