I decided to read this book because I was really excited about what was gonna happen at the end and how the series were gonna end. This book was really good, and it really tied the series to an end. I really liked it because it was like the "final battle" and it was really exciting. I would recommend this book o many of my friends, but if I did that, they would need to read the other books first, because they kind of all lead up to this one.

So good! it has descriptive words and it really makes you want to read more.

The last book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is full of adventure, fighting, and feelings. At the beginning of the book, Percy finally hears the prophecy that everybody talks about, and he is not happy about what he hears. After he gets all the campers to Mount Olympus to defend it, the fighting starts, with many loses on both sides. This book fulfills the expectations for the last book of a series, and is worth the read.

I love this series

Are you wondering about what book you should read next? Do you think that there are no more books left for you to read in your local library? I strongly recommend that you read the Percy Jackson series. This one’s my favorite, and it could be yours, too! If you need a book to read and can’t find one, or even if you are almost bored with no books, look on! To begin with, one of the main reasons this book series is atop many others is because it is fiction. Many readers enjoy nonfiction because you can explore the real side of the world. However, you could get many other ideas to write your own stories from fiction. Percy Jackson is also mythological, because some Greek gods have main roles in the series. If you are interested in mythology, don’t turn this opportunity down! This book series is also a classic. It’s up there with Harry Potter and The 39 Clues, you know! Second, If you love watching PG-13 movies such as The Hunger Games and Divergent, this book series also has lots of action, as well as an everlasting adventure! You’ll never regret reading this book after hearing how many are in the Percy Jackson series itself! The Lightning Thief The Sea of Monsters The Titan’s Curse The Battle of the Labyrinth The Last Olympian One last reason I want to give for you to read the Percy Jackson series is because the author, Rick Riordan, has a great reputation. Along with the 5 Percy Jackson books, He has made 3 books from the Kane Chronicles, 5 more books from the Heroes of Olympus series (which also features some of the main characters from Percy Jackson), and 2 miniature collisions of the Kane Chronicles and Percy Jackson, each around 40 pages long. Rick also wrote the first book in The 39 Clues series, The Maze of Bones. All of Rick’s books have great ratings from sites like Goodreads.com and Barnesandnoble.com. To sum it up, Percy Jackson is a great book series to read due to its genre, its author, and the information provided in a total of 1,726 thrilling pages! And if you don’t like reading, it’s a lot less pages to worry about than something like Harry Potter, which is almost double! That if you need a book to read, turn down the mythology aisle and pick up a Percy Jackson book today!

The Last Olympian is fifth and final book of the series. This book also has to be my favorite out of the entire series and I never mind reading it again. my favorite character is Grover like always my favorite part is when the flying pig attacks. I recommend this book to others.

This is the last book of Percy Jackson. You will be so depressed when you finish this awesome book. Read the first 4 before you read this book.

This was a really great book and it is one of my favorite in the series. I just love the whole Percy Jackson series because it is always exciting and there is action at every turn.
