Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters

Hi everyone, it's Nutmeg and today I'm going to compare on of my favourite books with the movie of the book. I have loved reading Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series since I was in year 4. It wasn't until I was year 6 to read Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero. Now that the Second Movie has come out I'm going to tell you what's wrong with it.

I'll start from the start.

In the book the sence is set in Percy's Nightmare where he sees his friend grover galloping while holding his shoes. In the background he could hear a growling nosie. Straight away he knows he is in Floridia. Grover hids in a Wedding dress shop but the monster finds him.
In the Movie the sence is set (after the intro) with demigods climbing on somesort of obsicale course. Percy is going up and is demermined to beat Clarrise to the top. Percy stops to help a camper and gets knocked down himself.

So far the movie is completly wrong. Percy is surpose to be at home sleeping.

Another of my favourite sences is the Luke in Camp Sence.

In the book Luke doesn't show up at camp at all. Percy doesn't see him until they are on the boat.
In the Movie Luke doen't show up telling Percy that some demigods have come over to his side. Luke then hints that Chiron doesn't tell him everything.

Another part that the movie is wrong is when Percy asks Chiron about the Great Prohcey

In the book Chiron tells him nothing expect that it will happen when he is sixteen.
In the Movie Chiron tells Percy a couple lines from the first book (from when he was first going to visit the ocrale).
The Prophecy is wrong in the first two line. The first line in the book is A Half-Blood of the eldest gods shall reach 16 against all odds.
Movie the first two lines a Half-blood of the eldest gods shall reach 20 agianst all Odds.

Tyson is everyone's favourite Cylcops but in the movie his background and personality is different.
In the Book Tyson lives in a cardborad box on 27th Ave. Tyson goes to school with Percy. He's Percy's BFF and Percy is his BFF. He appears childish and calls Chiron Pony and the pegai Chicken Ponies. He also calls his Hippocami, Rainbow.
In the Movie Tyson just walked through the Camp's Magical Barrier. he is seen in Mr D's Office where Chiron and Mr D are trying to figure out which Olympian sired him. Tyson all ready knows as a trident appeared above him and showed him the way to camp.

It's time to but to move onto the characters.
Selina Baugarud (I think i spelled it right) is known for leading the Ares Cabin into battle against a drakgon in the Last Oylmpain. She is also known as the Spy in Camp for Kronos but  when her Boyfriend, Charle, Died when dystroying Luke's ship she didn't want to anymore.
In the movie is Selina is seen on Luke's ship along with Chirs someone I can't think of the name. I think that they shouldn't have done that as Selina plays an important role in the story line.

While I'm talking about Luke's boat...
In the book it is actually a Curise Ship with humans onboard while in the movie it's a yaout (I thinks that's right).

Ufourtunly I didn't see the whole movie on you tube. They removed the one I was watching. If you know where i can watch it please tell me.
Happy 2014 everyone :) finally I can say this year !
