The Harry Potter
Chatterbox: Blab About Books
The Harry Potter era is almost up!!
I think we all know, a new era is dawning, Percy Jackson and the Olympians!
The Percy Jackson
series is possibly the BEST series ever written!
The first book, The Lightning Theif,
is about Percy Jackson the kid who always gets into trouble. He finds out that he is not an ordinary kid -- he's the son of
Poseidon!
Zeus' Bolt has been stolen and who gets the blame? Percy, the
only living offspring of the Big Three (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades). Now he goes on a quest to find the Bolt and
prove that he is not the Lightning Theif with the help of his friends
Grover and Annabeth. But if Percy didn't steal the Bolt, then who did?
Percy Jackson is the new Harry Potter! Though, Harry Potter still has
magnificent and majestic great books, Percy Jackson is taking over!
JK Rowling, is still a great author, and will be known throughout history as "One of the greatest authors of all times", Rick Riorden is now taking her place.
We all know it!! You may have read the Potter books, and say they are better, they are great, but many of us agree, Jackson is the new Potter.
Don't deny it. You may not be a fan of the Olympian books, but you know, Percy Jackson is the new hit!!
Though, Harry Potter will stay in the hearts of many, it will never die
off, or become out-of-fashion, Percy Jackson is taking over.

I like those debates too. A subject that seems to make you want to defend your point. A real debate. It is hard to find those kind of debates, you just sort of have to happen upon them.

I have an Idea for a debate: Twilight vs. ...? What do you think? I personally liked this debate even though some people got mad. Oh well...
@RD-- Congrats!!! You're finally reading Harry!! ;) Tell me what you think!!

@ Elizabeth M.--ooh, Twilight sounds like a good subject, but I'm not sure if some people would get to hyped or not. Seriously guys, why do we have to ban these types of debates? We should be able to disagree without tearing each others heads off. It's a book. No one is tied to a train track; if someone doesn't like Twilight or Percy Jackson, the sky will not cave in. No one has to act like a drama queen (or king) either.

Amen. :)
Hmm.... Maybe Twilight vs. HP? (though I probably know which side will win) Or Twilight vs. Percy Jackson?

Twilight versus another book? I don't think there's any need for that. Just about everyone here hates Twilight; if anyone doesn't, then they'll probably still love the other book and won't be able to argue as strongly for it as they otherwise could. If you want a Twilight debate, the topic can just be Twilight.
I'm not sure it would be fair, though. If anyone here likes Twilight, they'll probably be the only one. They'd have to argue all by themselves against masses. If theey don't mind, that's fine, but they probably don't exist, anyway.

2 things.
1- Annoyed, I'm really really really sorry! (feels guilty :( )
2- Urgh! I HATE Twilight! Just wanted to get that outa the way. That's all I have on the subject. Okay, so................

Well, get ready for a very hot debate. I think I'll do Twilight vs. HP and PJ. If that works... And I totally agree with MJ. Nobody needs to get mad about what other people like. Please be nice on the debate though. Thanks.

SIGH!!!!!! I really don't think either of these series are worth your time....but Percy Kackson is pretty cool....I LLOVE ANNABETH!! I've only read the Lightining theif, though. *doesn't bother ro correct typos.*
Kicy says oemp. Oh mop???
(March 24, 2011 - 1:48 pm)
Yay! I'm not the only one who's ever used 'mop' as an expletive!

You just made me laugh, Ima.
:D
(The spammer just said "hyou" which is a little weird...)
I think he wants to say "Hi you," but he could only use 4 letters.

Wow, I am so glad this debate has finally ended, it went on forever!!
I have an idea for a debate, a book one yes, but a good one.
What about The Left Behind Adults vs. the kids???

Hi everyone! Yes, one of my very rare posts until Easter... I decided to give myself ten minutes online so I better write quick (it is sooo hard to stay away. :D)-- *sigh* So my mom said I have to wait until summer to read HP. *sighs again* I have school books to read and she doesn't want me getting started on HP. That really stinks, but you all WILL know when I start them! Vida, I don't know what you mean. Are those books? Okay, well, G'bye!
(March 28, 2011 - 5:16 pm)
Why aren't you posting till Easter? That totally stinks! Man! I was looking forward to what you thought of it! :(
(March 29, 2011 - 11:22 am)
