The Last Olympian

The book I read was the Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. Riordan is a successful author writing numerous series. Such as the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Also he is writing a sequel series called the heroes of Olympus. The theme of the story is action/comedy book with plot twists and turns. This book will have wanting to read more of it. Also the story brings ups events in ancient Greece. Such as Greek gods and goddesses and famous events like the ancient war. Riordans books are the best because each page will have you sitting up on your chair very interested.

This book it’s about a 16 year old Percy Jackson whose father is the god of the sea Poseidon. Percy is forced to make a decision that could end his life or his whole camp. His camp is camp half-blood where demigods are safe from the mortal world where they are blood thirsty monsters from the underworld. Demigods are the product of s Greek god and a mortal. Demigods are hunted by monsters so they go to camp half-blood where they live and train to fight monsters by the centaur Chiron. A centaur is an immortal that is human from the waist up and is a horse from the waist down. Chiron mentors young demigods to survive in the mortal. Percy’s friend Annabeth is the daughter of Athena the goddess of wisdom. She is well organized and an awesome fighter. So the problem in the story is that the ancient titan lord Kronos has awakens from a long slumber. The titans are gods that ruled the earth before the Olympians and now they are trying to over throw the Olympians and take power again. The Olympians are weak but it’s up to the demigods to save the world!

This book should be recommended to everyone because it is freaking awesome. Go out and find this book it will make you jump of fear and excitement. Also they made movies about this series in a few years this book will be a movie. Trust me this book is better than any book on the market. Also you should read more of Riordans books. I promise you it is your money’s worth.
