Percy in his dangerous life of turning 16, what will happen? Will he be the Last Olympian or will he not?

In this book, it has lots of issues, ideas, and concepts like courage, betrayal, and loss. A lot of courage comes out when Annabeth leaves her family and joins Luke and Thalia. This makes me think Annabeth does not care about her family, and how they think of her. This makes me realize that Annabeth is not watching out for other people besides herself.

In the book it shows betrayal when Luke goes on the bad side. This makes me wonder, why would Luke do that? Throughout the series it tells the reader in the book how Luke is so mysterious, and wants to go up against Percy, Chiron, Annabeth, and Camp Half-Blood.

Rick Riordan, the author of this book, really brings out the excitement and lots of questions in the book that just makes you want to read more. Rick inspires lots of writers and children throughout the whole world. Most of his fantastic fantasy books are the best-selling series!

I think the message is trust your instincts, and believe in yourself, don't bring yourself down, no matter what.

"I am here because when all else fails, when all the other mighty gods have gone off to war, I am all that's left. Home. Hearth. I am the Last Olympian."

This sentence is most definitely one of my favorite parts! I mean Hestia does a great job talking "first person" to Percy. Alright, The Last Olympian is totally my favorite book! The way everything is said amazes me! Rick Riordan is the perfect person for character details and setting details.

Rick Riordan describes so many things. He describes Beckendorf as "...he was huge, with ripped muscles from working on the forges every summer, two years older than me, and one of the camp's best armor smiths." He makes it easier to picture things in my mind, I instantly knew what Beckendorf looked like!

I believe this book could be for 8 and up. They can handle it, especially with Rick Riordan's detials.

So the next book you read should be The Last Olympian!

The power, sorrow, and scariness of war is shown in The Last Olympian.

Once again, Rick Riordan brings out emotion and humor. In The Last Olympian, 15 year old Percy goes on a mission, a war, to save the world by protecting the Empire State Building.

This story shows friendship, love, betrayal, identity, and hope and in between making the readers feel the same. A part that shows that is when Percy is fighting Kronos himself.

The text is powerful and full of courage and braveness as Kronos strikes again causing a terrible war that will all, hopefully, go to Tartarus.

Readers will relate with all the characters feeling important and feel like a true half-blood. (I recommend this for 8 and up.)

"When all else fails, I am all that's left. Home. Hearth. I am the Last Olympian."

When Percy, and all of his friends are on a quest to stop the Titan Lord Kronos, things go wrong. Friends lost. Bad things come among Camp Half-Blood when Luke Castellan, Percy's evil enemy, sacrifices his body for Kronos to rise.

This mythical, and romantic story has humor, betrayal, trust, and possibly death.

The Last Olympian has an unforgettable cast of characters, Percy Jackson, a very humorous and brave demigod, Annabeth Chase, a kind an hopeful demigod, Thalia Grace, the bravest of Artemis' Hunters, Grover Underwood, a courageous and brave satyr, Tyson, a very loving and brave cyclopes, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, a mortal that becomes something very dangerous, Luke Castellan, an evil, but forgiving demigod, and many more brave heroes.

The Last Olympian is a book full of war, death, and evilness. Rick Riordan did an excellent job making the story fantastic! Rick really pushed himself to make a great story!

The Last Olympian is an awesome book full of death, hope, perseverance, power, loss, trust, friendship, and betrayal. Readers will feel like they're a demigod fighting in the war after they read this book!

I recommend this book for ages 9+.

Percy Jackson

“I am here because when all else fails, when all the other mighty, gods have gone off to war, I am all that’s left. Home. Hearth. I am the last Olympian.” Percy Jackson, a very good book, has some talented amazing characters for example Annabeth, Grover, Percy, Tyson, Chiron, And much more!! This book includes an unrevealed message!

Percy talks to us in a unique way. He asks questions, and gives important hints about what’s going on. Some important parts in this story are when Percy finds out he is a demigod, when he fights the Minotaur, and lots more! These books are geared to the same 8 and older range. Percy Jackson is amazingly different chapter books. It has an award for “Best selling series”.

Percy Jackson is a great and amazing book about demigods that kids will actually enjoy! The hero Percy Jackson is a character with a cool sword they call “riptide”. Percy has always been able to see through the mist in the first book you’ll find out why!

The author, Rick Riordan, adds character details and setting description. For example in the last Olympian he describes the ocean as –“glittery green and as smooth as glass.” He also describes Annabeth in the lightning thief as “…. With her deep tan and her curly blonde hair she was almost exactly what I thought a California girl would look like, except her eyes they ruined the whole image they were startling gray like storm clouds.”

I recommend this book for people who like learning in a fun way. And for people who are 8 and older. This series should have an award for best book series ever!! So read this book!
