The Last Olympian is a fantasy book mixing the modern world and the mythological world. It is the fifth book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. When I read this book for the first time I couldn’t put it down because it was so suspenseful and I always wanted to know what was coming next. It made me feel anticipation and it made me feel surprise because everything exciting that happened put me into shock. Rick Riordan did an excellent job writing this book and really described everything so well that no matter what I read I could picture exactly what was happening in the story! He also makes what actually happens in the story very realistic so it isn’t hard to imagine. In my opinion, The Last Olympian is just an awesome book!


I would say that The Last Olympian is a good book for any age above nine or so. I would also highly recommend it to anybody that can stand minor tragedies and war. I rate this book an A+!
