We saw it last night. I thought it was entertaining, but kind of easy to figure out (Luke being the Lightning Thief, I mean), and the story (At least for the movie) had kind of simplistic progression. But it had great performances and effects, and it was entertaining, so when I have time I might read 'em. I'm making a character based on Autolycus, if you know about him. :P
Right, I wasn't trying to say you copied it (Sorry!), I just thought the very basic idea was similar, with the Gods and all that. I haven't read them myself, but my family and I saw the movie, so I'm thinking about it. :P
