Cover Thoughts: The cover like all the Percy Jackson books is done by artist John Rocco and they look pretty cool. With the Empire State Building done in a very good perspective. I also like that Mr. Rocco never shows the face of the character allowing you to imagine what Percy's facial features are.

Summary: The end is near for Percy Jackson and his friends. Kronos the King of the Titans is mustering his troops to battle the demigods defending Manhattan. Now Percy and many demigods risk their lives to save the gods and destroy Kronos. Even then the Great Prophecy is on Percy's mind. Who will be the demigod to die?

Review: Positive stuff first. The book is quite solid. I liked the fact that Percy grew a lot, from a 6th grader to a 11th? grader. The way Rick Riordan writes has a distinct style. Its like James Patterson's style, with the duhs and yeahs. I honestly can't say if it is good or bad its all a matter of opinion. Rick Riordan's chapters are much longer though. Now the cons. The humongous error that I complain about is the misspelling of Kronos it is actually Cronos. Was the editor half asleep while he or she was editing the book. Mr. Riordan was a history teacher before. So, that is bad, bad, bad for a history teacher to be misspelling a name of such importance in Greek Mythology.

But, the one thing that completely freaks me out is this part of the book.

"What did they do?" My voice sounded tight and angry. "What did they do to my city"

My City? That just sounds plain creepy. It sounds like Percy is some kind of wannabe owner of Manhatten.

Now the other thing I don't like about it is the way Mr. Riordan depicts the fighting scenes. When you read them it is obvious that he hasn't written a lot of fighting scenes. All in all this was a not so good ending to wonderful (up til now) series.
3.5 stars out of 5 stars or a 7 out of 10.

Recommmended Age Group: The book is pretty clean, but there is one kissing scene. About 9 years and above. ( )

A complete and satisfying end to this great series.
The Last Olympian, serves to wrap up all the series' loose ends in one epic battle to save Mount Olympus.

Again we journey through Percy Jackson's view as he attempts to fight against a rising force of Titans and a resurrection of Kronos. With the gods busy with mutinous minor gods, and ancient gods bent of revenge, Percy must protect Mount Olympus from Krono's ever strengthening army. All the while unsure of his own fate as the prophetic son who will destroy Mount Olympus upon turning 16.

I remember reading the first one for a school project.
Managed to finish the entire series after the first book.
Awesome Book. ( )
