 Final Percy book? October 15, 2009
R. Wooten
I bought the Percy Jackson books for my kids but of course i read them. They're perfect for reading on a bus or train during a commute. Easy to follow story lines, some nice semi-surprises and twists. this is a series that needs to be read from the first book. while there are repeated explanation as with any series, only by reading the books do you get the full understanding. Of course the end suggests there may be more books on the way. Looking forward to the Lightning Thief movie.
A Lackluster Conclusion to a Great Series October 15, 2009
Megan Ellinger (Plano, TX)
I stumbled upon the first in the series at a local bookstore and, after quickly reading it and the rest of the series, impatiently awaited the release of this final book in the series.
I wanted to love it since the series had been so inventive and surprising but I was disappointed. The plot was barely present and the great majority of the book consisted of a drawn out battle with only a few "firework" moments. The ending of the book was predictable and left the story with many loose ends. The character development was overshadowed by a vignettes in the story that felt repetitive from the previous books.
I am not a member of the target demographic for this book and perhaps I would have liked it more if I was a teenage boy.
 The AMAZING conclusion to an AMAZING SERIES!!!! October 10, 2009
J. Allen
I just finished reading The Last Olympian and WOW what a great ending to this incredible series by Rick Riordan. I'm sad that this is the last book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians seris as it has easily become my favorite book series. All the books are amazing but this one was my favorite. Now, all I have to look forward to is The Lightning Thief movie and the next Camp Half-Blood series. Everyone BUY the book!!! You won't be disappointed.
The Last Olympian October 7, 2009

When I read The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan I felt transported to New York and beyond. To a small camp where boys and girl went to train and be safe. Every page was full of excitement and adventure. I just could not stop reading. I read the others in the series and this was the best. It even had some humor.
When I was in sixth grade I was studying the Greeks and I knew almost everything about their mythology because of these books. It helped me understand the Greek folklore and I aced all my quizzes. I learned from these books to.
It also had a hidden message which I thought was amazing. "No matter what your dad is, Greek god or normal loving dad, you are his son and nothing you do can change that fact." I found that very moving and what the books are mostly about. I it also goes the same for moms too. I think that the hidden message was very well written.
My favorite character was Grover and satyr. That means he is human from the waist up and goat from the waist down. I liked Grover because he was kind of the clown of them and was more grown up. He also is a goat boy for "Pete sakes" what could be cooler than that? I don't know but I found that Grover had a personality that I could relate to. That is why Grover is my favorite character.
I also liked how the author put humor in the titles of each chapter. My favorite was "The end of the world started when a Pegasus landed on the hood of my car."I liked how he even had the silly chapter names to involve what happens in the chapter. I found this to be very funny and interesting.
I liked this book The Last Olympian because it had adventure and excitement in every page and you didn't have to build up set up because you already knew what is going on. I liked the author's writing style because he had a lot of cliff hangers and suspense that kept me reading and reading.
This book is about Percy Jackson a son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, and his battle against the evil Titian Lord Kronos. This book also tells of Percy and his fulfillment of the prophecy on his 16th birthday. In this book he is fighting to defend the Greek god's capital Mt. Olympus. Percy and all of his fellow demigods must team up to hold off the invading army until the gods arrive after the fight with a huge monster.
After reading this book my expectations were set a lot higher for books. I would recommend this book for anybody that likes action and adventure. I also would recommend the rest of the series first but you can read them in any order. I felt that this book was a very great book and I felt that you should read it too.
GREAT BOOK October 5, 2009
A must have for fans of the series, filled with extreme battles and unexpected suprieses. this book was all i expected
