Product Description: All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos's army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan's power only grows. While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it's up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.
In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy's sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.
Sad it had to end This book was an amazing ending to the series. It was full of action and adventure and romance and always kept me on the edge of my seat. I tried to read the book as slowly as possible so that I didn't have to finish it. The series is great for all ages and it will keep you wanting more!
ggreatest one in the series this is the fifth book and its the greatest i dont wanna give stuff away but my favorite part was when posiedon came with the cyclopses and took down typhoon.
Harry Potter knockoff While I liked the first book in this series, it has become progressively more and more an obvious ripoff of Harry P., so much so that this installment was almost painful to read. Our hero, a genetically superior teen with the power to see the magical world all around us hidden from the rest of us Muggles, lives with other similar teens in a special, separate environment where they are being trained how to best use their magical powers by, among other creatures, a centaur. Our hero uses magical creatures as well as shadows to transport himself around the world and leads the fight against the power of evil that is intent on destroying civilization. Our hero also just happens to be the ostensible subject of an ancient prophecy. The teens have to all join forces to try to deal with the forces of evil but there is a traitor among them. Yada yada yada. We've heard all this before, except that this book has none of the characterization, humor, or camaraderie of the Rowling series.
One of my favorite books! This is a must read book! Tons of action and surprises keep your fingers turning the pages. It is a shame that the series had to end.
Great book! If you have not read any of the books in the series then you should absolutely pick one up and try it, these books are definently worth while and are great for peple of any age.
