People often describe reading books as taking a ride through another mystical land. I think that's a great way to describe what books are, since they are our imaginations interpreting words on a book. And while movies can interpret what we read in many ways, Percy Jackson fans know good and well what movies can do to books. Thus, it is true, there is no other true way to enter the world of a book than through reading it. Movies can jerk emotions, I cry all the time when it comes to movies. But only true books can get me to cry. Movies may make me angry, but only a book can make me so angry that when I'm supposed to be focusing in class I instead promptly throw the book across the room. Movies can give me happiness when my favorite character is alive, but only books can give you true suspense in anxiety and fear, then deliver a true euphoria when they are alive.
