Review: The Last Olympian

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.

I'm sad that I have finished the last Percy Jackson book, but it also provided a satisfying close to the series.

The Last Olympian was exciting and had a captivating storyline, but this one isn't my favorite of the series. I think the reason is because Percy and his friends weren't on a quest and journeying to different places. They stayed in one spot through the whole book: New York.

Riordan wrote the book so it was still interesting, even though there were limited changes of scenery.

I'm sad for Rachel, because she was made into the Oracle. It doesn't really seem like a happy ending for her. Just because it might've been her "fate," doesn't mean she had no options.

I'm looking forward to what Rick Riordan will write in the future, and I hope they're as adventurous as Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

For those of you who have read the books, what did you think of the movie? I've been told by a blogger that it's not worth viewing, and it doesn't even follow the first book at all, so I'm not planning on seeing it.
