Don't Buy The Last Olypian Until You See This!

All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos's army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan's power only grows. While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it's up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy's sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.

Now here is what one person had to say about the book:

This is the fifth and final Percy Jackson adventure and you know all your questioned will be answered. Percy is on the cusp of adulthood, but is he really the kid from the great prophecy? Who will Percy end up with? Will Luke's story finally be revealed? But before we get ahead of ourselves, Percy and Beckendorf must stop the ship, Princess Andromeda from reaching her destination. As Blackjack approaches the headquarters of the titan lord, snake women, hounds, giants, and humanoid demons all patrol the upperdecks, but like a dark comet zipping toward its destination, they managed to get past them without incident. Soon after dropping the pair off on the lowest deck, Blackjack retreats, and Beckendorf, pulls an image of his beloved and begins to reminisce about the daughter of Aphrodite. With a glint of wariness in his eyes, Percy reassures him that they will succeed in their mission. So Beckendorf takes the lead, and with enemy voices arguing around them, they manage to reach the ship's engine room. Guarded by only one dog-headed half human, only one slice is needed for him to explode into dust. After setting several viles of Greek fire, a horde of monsters head toward our heroes. All this, and it's only just started. What a story! What a series! The Last Olympian continues with its cutting edge, hip style of presenting Greek Mythology in a way that flows seamlessly into the first-person dialogue, and not force fed to the reader. You learn without learning, what a beautiful concept. The action is packed, and there are more than a few surprises - I won't mention them here. But I will say all the loose ends from The Titans Curse and The Battle of the Labyrinth are sewn up in what must be one of the greatest series in literary history. Great job, Rick Riordan. A bit odd, but you sure can write. I would also like to take a moment and thank him for all he has given to help communities and children...it is rare for someone of his status to be so involved.
