The 10 differences on Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief ( movie and book) are:
1) Book: Percy did not have any electronic gadgets with him. Movie: Percy had an iPod Touch.
2) Book: Percy can breathe underwater. Movie: Percy can only hold his breath for roughly 7 minutes.
3) Book: Percy, Grover, and Annabeth were allured to stay at the Lotus Hotel and Casino by taking the green credit. Movie: Percy, Grover, and Annabeth were allured to stay at the Lotus Hotel and Casino by eating Lotus Flowers.
4) Book: Luke captured the flag in the game of 'capture the flag'. Movie: Percy captured the flag in the game of 'capture the flag'.
5) Book: Percy consulted the oracle before he went out of Camp Half-Blood. Movie: Percy snucked out of Camp Half-Blood.
6) Book: Percy fought with Ares in a sword fight at the beach. Movie: Ares was never shown.
7) Book: Percy did not fight with the Hydra. Movie: Percy fought with the Hydra when he was trying to get one of the pearls.
8) Book: Percy was given the pearls to get out of the underworld. Movie: Percy had to find the pearls to get out of the underworld.
9) Book: Poseidon left before Percy was born. Movie: Poseidon left Percy when he was 7 months old.
10) Book: The shoes 'activate' when you say 'Maia'. Movie: Percy had to run like a plane on a runway.
If I had to choose between the book and the movie, I would choose the book. My favourite scene was when Clarisse tried to bully Percy in the toilet, but ended up being soaked in toilet water. Annabeth, too, was not spared and the whole toilet was flooded with toilet water. However, the strange thing was that Percy was not wet at all. There was even a circle of dry floor around him. This incident would let the readers wondering why this has happened, thus creating suspense. I find this scene very interesting as it also depicts the characters' feelings, like Percy's and Annabeth's surprise why Percy was not wet.
