Re: [LM_NET] BOOK: The last Olympian [Percy Jackson #5] by Riordan

[Christine Rayl <cjrayl@YAHOO.COM>]

I must agree with your final statement in your excellent review! I have a group of 
6, fifth grade boys who have become avid readers and researchers, thanks to this 
series, and who are looking for more books of adventure.
(They have read the whole series now and are heartbroken that there are no 
more...yet.)

Reading is not a duty, and has consequently no business to be made disagreeable.
