The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

Well, I did it.  I completed the series.  I enjoyed this book but had a hard time starting it.  I have been so busy lately and yet I know that if I start it is hard to put it down.  I was happy to have some time to read it.  It was truly a great way to end a series with a spark of....there could be something more about the subject in the future. 

This book is the story of the battle against the Titans.  They are going to try to take over Olympus.  It has lots of twists and turns and the unexpected creeps up very often.  It was a book that you never knew what was going to happen yet.  I liked the sparks of romance in it too.  I enjoyed reading it.  Kudos to a great book.

The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan

Who knew a Labyrinth could be so vast and so complicated?  This book puts it all into perspective on how big the Labyrinth in the book is.  It's huge and extends to many cities far apart (from San Fransisco to New York to New Mexico and bigger).

Annabeth gets a quest and takes along Percy Jackson, Tyson (Percy's half brother) and Grover.  The quest is to go through the Labyrinth to get to Daedalus to prevent Luke from getting the string that would help him get through the Labyrinth to attack Camp Half-Blood. 

There's fun adventure and even Percy's new friend, Rachel, helps out in the Labyrinth.  We also learn more about Nico di Angelo.

I liked this book in the series a lot.  It was easy to get carried away in the story.  There's more romance in this book.  That makes it even better.

Now on to the next one!!!

The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan

Percy has more adventures with Thalia (and Zoe, a new friend, too) as they try to save the Hunting goddess, Artemis and to try to save Annabeth.  Atlas is in this volume as are many Gods and Goddesses from Greek Mythology and their friend, Luke comes to play in this volume too.)  I enjoy the Percy Jackson books.  Percy comes out of some amazing situations usually with the help of others.  It was a fun read.  I am excited to read the next two volumes.

Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

I enjoyed this book as much as the first.  I did have a problem though.  I lost it after reading the first little bit and I couldn't find it.  When I did find it again...it didn't take me long to finish it at all.  I really enjoyed the adventure.  I like the new Tyson character and am really excited to read the next volume to hear about some characters that were a surprise for me.

Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan




The Lightning Thief

  This book is as good as everyone has said.  I really enjoyed reading it.   I was trying to finish it before I watched the movie.  Yay, I can now watch the movie.

Percy Jackson is the main character in the book.  Percy is a boy that trouble seems to follow.  There are reasons trouble follows him and this book is all about those reasons.

There are many Mythology legends that are talked about and many Percy finds are not just legends.  Quite the adventuresome book!
