Princess Lilue

The movie is quite different really, but not in a bad way.. Although there are a couple of things that i'd complain about (spoiler alert!!):

- What happened to The Oracle? Isnt that prophecy thing a major part of the story?

- I dont quite like that in the movie, Hades had wanted a war, hence confirming the belief that he is evil. The fact was, the book specifically mentioned that he didnt want the war, but all three gods (Zeus, Poseidon & Hades) were being set up against each other by having their weapon (thunder bolt & helm) stolen.

- Plus, Percy did not leave Grover behind & taken his mother with him. Instead he promised to find another way to save his mother. Hades, not Zeus, who was grateful to Percy that he returned Percy's mother as a reward, without being asked i might add.

- Annabeth's character in the book is a whole lot smarter than the movie, who kept flaunting her hair around & playing goey eyes with Percy. Duh.. I also had wanted to see how they'd show Mr D & Clarisse and how Percy could stay dry coming out of water, but it didnt affect the movie that much.. haha..

- But Hades's "Mick Jagger" look was really cool.. ahaks.. so was Medusa & Chiron.. and i liked how they used water instead of ambrosia to heal the wounds..

All in all.. both book and movie come highly recommended, especially if you have a thing for greek gods & myth, like i do.. hehe.. :Although i'm not sure if this series can rival Harry
