The Lightning Thief is smiliar in ways to the movie. It's about Percy who finds out that he is a demi-god. Zeus and Poseidon are about to have a major war and Percy has to go on a quest to stop it. A really great series that I can't wait to finish.

I really enjoyed this book. It finished out the series strong and left me hoping he carries on with a "next gen" kind of thing. I would buy and read more if he did. ( )

I think I wouldn't have been as disappointed if I hadn't expected this book to be the best of the series.
As always I love Rick Riordan's style...but the LAST OLYMPIAN was less creative than it's predecessors. ( )

** spoiler alert ** Loved it! Good wins over evil...surprise, surprise. But those kids never give up hope! Not to mention, I love getting a refresher of Greek mythology as I read a good story. ( )

From now on, this is what I will think of when I think 'boy book'. It's well-written and tautly plotted, but the fighting just goes on and on and on. The series comes to a close in a truly epic and satisfying way, the loose ends are tied up in lovely little bows and the curtain falls at precisely the proper moment. I've enjoyed these five books mightily. And the last Olympian may be my favorite character in the whole series.

All that being said, the constant battling just wasn't my thing, though I'm very glad to have read it so I could find out the ending. And I'm not ruling out reading the next Half-blood series that Riordan half-promises. ( )

The action, never leisurely in any of the five books in the series, runs at a frantic pace here — monsters pop out with a rapidity that becomes almost predictable, except that they are so enjoyably hair-raising, and that Riordan has such clever ways of dispatching them.

Book description
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.
