The Last Olympian
By:
Rick Riordan
Remember
the Greek gods? How they are just a myth? Well, you’re wrong, they’re real.
Sometimes they have children with humans; we call them half-bloods. My name is
Percy Jackson, and I’m a half-blood, Son of Poseidon God of the Sea.
The
Great Prophecy, which states:
A
half-blood of the eldest gods
Shall
reach sixteen above all odds
And
see the world in endless sleep
The
hero’s soul, cursed blade shall reap
A
single choice shall end his days
Olympus
to preserve or raze.
Nico
d’Angelo, son of Hades decides that the only way I can survive the fight with
Kronos is to take a swim in the River Styx. The river that flows in the
Underworld is like a boiling pot of acid, this is the only way to become
invincible.
Kronos,
the father of all the gods, is coming to take over Mount Olympus and destroy
the gods, to create a new chapter in history. As I lead my friends, and fellow
campers to the final stand against Kronos. We learn that there is a spy and
Kronos knows all our plans and where we weakest. Of course Kronos strikes where
we are weakest, and then when back-up comes, Kronos army retreats. Percy
learns that his friends will do anything for him and Olympus, even if it means
death. The war is not over. They have only suppressed the army of Kronos, not
killed, he will come back. Maybe not in this lifetime or in the next but he
will come back.
I liked how you explained the problem and explained the prophecy which is a very important part of the book. I also read this book twice and you explained very well.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really good book my brother and sister have read this book and I don't really think it will interest me though. I suggest some spelling revision cause somethings don't really make sense.
ReplyDeleteI loved how you added the prophecy because that sounds important. Some things were kind of confusing to under stand so you may want to look over that next time. Your review makes me want to read this book.
ReplyDeletei loved how you put the review in first person! It really made the book review come alive! Keep up the good work!
