Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

4502507

When my interest was starting to wane and I was tired of the repetitive events just worded differently I read this book. One word..."Wow"! I knew this was going to be a better book when it didn't open with a battle in yet another school that Percy and some mythic creature destroy. With only five books in the series everything comes to a head in this book and it was very well written. 

Kronos is gaining in power and it is up to Percy to live out the prophecy that we finally get to know. From the very beginning this story just took off with plenty of action. All of the pieces begin to come together which really made this book hard to put down. Half way through this book the battle to end the whole series. I loved this book and it made each boring moment along the way worth it. 

I don't know what more I can say about this book that wouldn't ruin this great story. It is an easy decision for me to give this 5 out of 5 stars. I flew through this book and really wished there were more in this series. My wife assures me that the next series Heroes of Olympus is even better. I have a few things I want to read first on my to-read list, and with Halloween on the way I have a few books to get me in the creepy spirit of the season. I will be moving on to the next series and I'm so glad it will be finished next month so I can read straigh through without waiting.

    I didn't know the next series was going to be finished!! Ok that makes me want to pick it up now. Especially since I am looking for some good carefree books and this series fits that perfectly.

    Well I'm glad that my post was able to be informative. My wife and a few friends are huge fans of this series so I was in the know by proxy. I'm taking a break from YA for a little bit but when I get back into it I will start this other series.

Follow Me Friday- Picture Books

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

A-Z Reading Survey

On one of the blogs I follow I saw this and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to follow the link to the A-Z Meme . I also decided to check out the blog this came from and really liked it. What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't give credit where it is due? This is from The Perpetual Page-Turner , and her blog is pretty cool. So here are her questions and my answers. A uthor you’ve read the most books from: Jeffery Deaver is the author that I have read the most books from. If you checked out my all about me post you would know that his books are the reason I am the avid reader I am. Michael Connelly and Steven King would be a close second. Still have a lot of King to read.   B est Sequel Ever:  What a good question. Currently the only one I can think of is the Lord of the Rings Tow Towers. That is my favorite book of the series. C urrently Reading: Currently I am listening to Storm Fron by Richard Castle, and reading Sons of Moriarty and More St

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri
