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.

A Beautiful End and Beginning March 13, 2010
A. White (USA)
This series was amazing. It's a fast and quick read (mainly because it is for little kids) but it's filled with action, humor and it throws in some romance. The end of the series starts off faced pace, which I think a lot of other series ending books don't do, so that was great! And it maintains a good balance of action and that humor and just "Percy Jacksoness" that made the series great.
This book series has definitely been a great ride. For some reason (not sure If I'm the only one), but I think the message in the book and at the end is great. It deals with kids who have "broken" (not sure if that's the right word to describe it) homes and it sends a strong message that you still have to keep fighting through the pain you might feel.
Anyways, this was a great series. Made me laugh a lot, made me tear up a bit, and made me re-explore my old fascination with Greek mythology. When I was in 6th grade I was a big Hermes fan, and Greek myth fan in general.. I even pulled out my old huge Encyclopedia of Roman/Greek Myths book a lot.
Definitely a must read for kids if adventure novels are their sort of thing. It's too bad Harry Potter was almost too popular because it sort of makes ever adventure book seem like it must be compared to it.. Which isn't fair.
Anyways, I loved this series. I'm definitely keeping it around if I ever have kids someday to let them read it.
My son really liked it!!! March 13, 2010

My son loved the entire series of these books!!! Lots of fun and adventure, which many nights, kept him up a little too late to see what was going to happen!!!
Awesome series March 9, 2010
Molly Doherty (Massachusetts, USA)
I will admit that I only became aware and interested in this series when the ads for The Lightning Thief movie came out. I read the books and I thoroughly enjoyed them all, including the Last Olympian. It was a fitting end to a great series.
Great Book March 6, 2010

I received the book the day after I ordered it. It is a good finish to the series.
