Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian (Book 5)
Rick Riordan
The Last Olympian: the fifth book in Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series.
The fifth awesome adventure in the top-ten bestselling Percy Jackson series – now in paperback.
Most people get presents on their sixteenth birthday. I get a prophecy that could save or destroy the world.
That’s how it is when you’re the son of Poseidon, God of the Sea. According to an ancient prophecy, bad things will happen when I turn sixteen – because I’m the one who gets to decide the fate of the entire world. But no pressure.
This is the one where Kronos, Lord of the Titans, is beginning his attack on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Oh, and the dreaded (and not to mention enormous) monster Typhon is also heading our way. So it’s me and forty of my demigod friends versus untold evil . . .
Praise for the Percy Jackson series:
‘Witty and inspired. Gripping, touching and deliciously satirical…This is most likely to succeed Rowling. Puffin is on to a winner’ – Amanda Craig, The Times
‘Puns, jokes and subtle wit, alongside a gripping storyline’ – Telegraph
‘Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats’ – New York Times

Reviews
I liked this story as it was part fiction and part non-fiction. And I like greek myths.

Lord of the Titans, Kronos, and Typhon descend upon New York and try to take over the world. Percy and his friends must try and stop them before it's too late. I liked the part where Percy gets thrown into the ocean by an explosion and when he wakes up, his half brother Tyson jokes with him and says "yay, your brain works". I recommend this book to other who love and enjoy greek mythology.

I love Percy Jackson even though it's a fiction book . The book has a lot of adventure in it. It teaches you that even if you are the villain now you can become the hero in the end if you try,
