Right, and wasn't Percy's class on a field trip near there, or he was home from school or something, which they thought gave him the opportunity to take the bolt at Poseiden's request?

I thought the book would have made a perfect movie the way it was (although they could have left the smaller things out, like them fighting the dude in the waterbed store, etc).

I agree. But I was particularly disappointed that the whole underlying segment of the total 5-story arc -- why Luke
really stole the bolt -- was completely ignored. Way to set up any sequels.
And Camp Half-Blood was a major disappointment, too. That baffled me as much as anything. Don't they realize that the people who have read the book and can fuel the movie's success want to see Camp Half-Blood look like it does in the books -- complete with the old house, the cabins and Mr D?
BTW, two things to look forward to in the fall: A Percy Jackson graphic novel and the publication of
Thalia Grace and the Hunters: The Drakon Slayer.
