So I just started last night. I am on page 93, which is the start of Chapter 7 called "My Dinner Goes Up In Smoke". I wanted to create a board where new readers could discuss things without spoilers or being to confused. So, anything about the first book is welcome here! But if you do post ANYTHING spoiler-ish please warn people at the start of the post.

It's so great so far!! Is the movie anything like the book? I'm going to watch it once I am done. I imagine Percy as Logan Lerman just cause I know that's who plays him in the movie

They changed and removed a lot of stuff from the book. Honestly, don't expect it to be like the book. The plot was misdirected. The movie as said by a lot in this forum is good but in relation to how the series would go, it was horrible in my opinion. Entertaining nonetheless. Edit: Glad you're liking the book! It gets better.

Well, try not to compare it to the book. By itself, the movie isn't bad. I think a lot of people didn't like it because of the changed plot... But, clove, I hope you stick with the series. It is amazing and you'll want to read all the way to the Son of Neptune. Trust me.

I definitely suggest that you read this series all the way through. Your time will not be wasted, I promise. There's something in this series for everyone.
And picturing Lorgan Lerman as Percy? Perfect!! Lol, although the movie is different from the book (not bad, just different) Logan Lerman is fantastic.

I really like Logan as an actor, so I have no doubt he is going to be good in the movie.
Reading some reviews of the movie, I am going to try and not think about the book as I watch. Sounds like it's nothing like it.
And also, in the movie, the girl for Annabeth has black hair right? In the book it says she has golden hair with gray eyes....

The Percy Jackson series is the series that got me into reading. No books had really caught my attention before them and this weekend I read The Lost Hero and The Son of Neptune. The chapter names are inspired though. I don't know if this counts as a spoiler but- warning- in the most recent/ new series Rick Riordan stops writing amazing chapter names . I watched the movie but I wasn't that pleased with it- probably an unpopular opinion though.

But yes, Annabeth is suppose to have blonde hair and gray eyes. And the actress that plays Annabeth was on White Collar, which made me do a double take b/c I thought "she's THAT old?!"

The chapter names are some of my favorite aspects! They are all so weird and quirky. And before you read the chapter you're just like "what the heck?" then after you totally understand it and everything make sense!
