Book review
The Heroes of Olympus-The Lost Hero is an excellent book combined with mythology and adventure, written by the No.1 bestseller, Rick Riordan. The Heroes of Olympus-The Lost Hero is the opening book to the series Heroes of Olympus, which is a sequel to the magnificent series of books, Percy Jackson.
The Heroes of Olympus-The Lost Hero is the book, where the main character Percy Jackson, the son of the Greek sea god Poseidon, goes missing and the son of the Roman god Jupiter, Jason is introduced. In the Percy Jackson series and the Heroes of Olympus series, there are two camps called ‘Camp Half-Blood’ and ‘Camp Jupiter’. The campers of the two camps are sons/daughters of the Greek and the Roman gods and goddesses, which include Zeus/Jupiter, Poseidon/Neptune, Hades/Pluto, Apollo/Apollo, Dionysus/Bacchus, Hermes/Mercury, Ares/Mars, Hephaestus/Vulcan, Hera/Juno, Artemis/Diana, Athena/Minerva, Aphrodite/Venus, Demeter/Ceres and etc. The two camps are a place where ‘demigods’, thus the children of the gods and goddesses, gets trained. The complication of this book is the fact that Gaia, the Earth goddess, is trying to take over the world.
Even though The Heroes of Olympus-The Lost Hero is just the beginning to the series, the book was sensational. With a great plotline and such descriptive language, you can dare say The Heroes of Olympus-The Lost Hero can be classed as one of the greatest book of the 21st century.
When I first read the book, I was highly engaged by the fluency of high order vocabulary. I wasn’t able to stick my head out of the book because of how the book was flowing, with every complication having a plausible resolution. This book is a true book that keeps you non-stop reading.
The Heroes of Olympus-The Lost Hero is a superb book that is unpredictable and is never dull. I loved how Rick has expressed his imaginations and crazy ideas into a 551 paged book. I truly praise Rick Riordan’s extraordinary skills of writing.
I believe that this book was one of those ‘cliff-hanger’ books where the last page revealed a surprise, leading onto the second book, ‘the Son of Neptune’. The Heroes of Olympus-The Lost Hero was a highly engaging, excellent and a nerve-racking book which was irresistible to put down.
I would rate this book 5/5, as it improved my Greek mythology knowledge bank, gave me an excellent opportunity to read such a fabulous book and being one of the best book I’ve ever read. I recommend this book to anyone between ages 10-15. I guarantee reading this book will transport you to a whole magical and mythical land of literature.
