Love this book . . .

I've always been an avid reader.  Since I learned how to read at an early age, books have been my best friends.  I'd rather read than watch tv or do anything else.  I have a wide collection of books by my favorite authors - Judith Mc Naught, Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown and Sidney Sheldon.  In fact I have a complete collection of all their published works.  My most valuable acquisition though are my 7 First Editions of Harry Potter books (yes, I'm a child at heart!).  I also have all Twilight books and my newest addition to my collection - the Percy Jackson books.  All five of them. 

I first got interested in Percy Jackson when I saw the movie The Lightning Thief as I have a fascination with Greek and Roman mythology.  The movie was ok but a friend mentioned that the book is much much better.  So, I bought the first book in the series and got hooked.  True enough, the plot and characters were more exciting.  In fact, the gist of the movie kinda deviated from the actual book. I finished the first 4 books during the Holy week (4 days!!).  I just purchased the final book The Last Olympian today as it was out of stock in almost all bookstores.  Good thing they still have a few left in Powerbooks Greenbelt 4.  I am so excited to read it. :)
