My son and I are in something of a quandry over the upcoming "Percy Jackson" film. Should we see it or not? He really loves the series that starts with "The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan. In fact, he even has me hooked. The problem is that when we read great books like this, we have our very own, original images of what characters should look like, settings, etc. When we go to see a movie, that is all displaced by the imagery "downloaded" to us on the screen. In fact, good as they are, are sometimes wish I'd never watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson.
