Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Okay, anyone else looove the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series? If you haven't read it, you, like, have to. Its  UH-MAZING! To those of you Cricket readers that have read it, don't you think that the movie that they made of the first book doesn't really go with the book? I mean, the thing about the pearls only is in the book for a tiny bit. It's insane. I think that the first one is soo unlike the books that they're not going to be able to make the second one work. Don't u agree?
