I lent my book to my cousin, so when she gets back today i'll make sure, but I think that is correct. That is when Annabeth and Luke, and some other demigods went up to Mt. Olympus and met their parents (which is why it irked me that it mentioned they weren't allowed to ever meet their parents).
But I agree, I think the movie was very watered down. I will not believe that the book wasn't "Hollywood" enough. Really? People wouldn't wanna see Percy fight a Chimera and then fall through the St. Louis Arch? Yeah cause fighting Hydra was muuuuuuch better
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).
