I love writing in third person, as it gives you a wider opportunity in adding scenes and etc that does not include the main character.

Honestly, first person turns me off a bit, as usually there would be less description and more action, and the word(maybe letter?) "I" can get very, very repetitive and degrading to read. =/

First person does have its advantages though, as it allows you to build up your character's personality far better than third person. Though, as for the other characters, it'll be harder to do that, as their personality must circulate only through the perspective of your main character.

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
— Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
