Back in the day, bookworms divided into two camps. There were the diehard Percy Jackson fans, and the Potterheads. Coming almost a whole decade after the first Harry Potter movie, we finally got the adaptation of Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief." In the movie, Percy Jackson discovers he's actually the son of the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon, and his satyr protector whisks him away to a camp for the children of Greek gods and goddesses. Though Percy isn't fighting for his literal life like Katniss Everdeen, he's still got a lot of pressure on his shoulders for one teenager: he's been accused of stealing Zeus's lightning bolt and has to not only figure out who actually stole it, but also return it back to Zeus before a war breaks out between the gods, wreaking havoc on the human world.
