[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Riordan, Rick. The last Olympian [Percy Jackson #5]. Hyperion, 2009
[978-1423101475]
Percy the other characters from Camp Half-Blood and the other
Olympians, prepare to do battle against Kronos/Luke, the Titans and
his forces.  Much of the book deals with minor skirmishes and the
lead-up to the final battle.  Not until the final battle do things get
serious and the reader begins to feel that the Olympians may actually
loose.  Will Mount Olympus (on the 600th floor of the Empire State
building) fall?  Will the prophecy some true about Percy?  If the
previous books didn't this one will make the reader look up more about
Greek Mythology.  All the characters are involved in this war!  This
381 page book is a fitting end to this series.  But.....as the author
states at the end.. it is the end of the first Half-Blood series.   So
get ready for more.  This is an exciting and well-written series.
