The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
Reviewed by: Paul
The Lightning Thief was an outstanding book by Rick Riordan that still hasn't gotten old. The sequels following it weren't that big of sell-outs, but now there is a new book that might match the attraction of the first book of the 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series. The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan, and the last book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series and The New York Times' #1 best-selling series, is a great book that is one of the best books I have ever read.

Percy Jackson, son of Greek god Poseidon, is on a mission to blow up the ship that is carrying monsters of all kind and the Greek Titan, Kronos, across the sea to the city of Manhattan, New York. He escapes the bomb fires, but his fellow partner, and camp-mate, does not survive. But more is to follow. The great monster Typhon is unleashed from underneath a volcano and the gods are all busy trying to stop its trip from the west to the east. Poseidon is busy on a war of his own, and Kronos' army steadily approaches Manhattan after regrouping. Percy and his pack of demigods are on their own and need to stop the Lord of Time.

Cornered on the island of Manhattan, Percy is responsible for protecting the sole power of the gods, their thrones. Percy and his fellow demigods are trying everything they can to save the Mount Olympus of the Empire State Building. Can Percy and his friends stop the great Titan? Can they protect Olympus? Or will the palace of Olympus crumble to ruins and the Titans rise to power? Find out everything by following the adventure of Percy Jackson in book five of the thrilling series by Rick Riordan. This book was ranked #1 best-seller on USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Times. The book has my extreme attention and I'm pretty sure I didn't miss a word out of the book. It is a classic that will never die and can be read over and over again without the loss of the excitement, just like The Lightning Thief.
