The Last Olympian
The book I decided to do my book report on is The Last Olympian, written by

Rick Riodarn. This book is set in Manhattan. There is a camp of halfbloods, or people

with one mortal parent and one immortal parent. The titan lord, Kronos, has just been

reborn and is trying to kill the people at Camp Halfblood. The main characters of the book are Percy, Annebeth, Nico, Luke, Kronos and

other assorted campers. Luke had been taken over by the titan lord, Kronos. He was

trying to destroy Olympus. Percy had a prophecy that was going to happen when he

turned sixteen, and Nico, the son of Hadies, offered him a deal. Percy decided he would

take the deal. The deal was to bathe in the River Styx, The River of Lost Dreams.

Percy isn’t greed at because he turned down god hood. “Oh, not you although I suppose I should wonder turning down immorality” (Riordan, 355) after defeating Kronos he was given a offer to be a god. He is also funny “With great power... comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later”.

    The Olympics were revived in 1896 thanks to Pierre de Coubertin.

Another document I would like to have seen would be one containing a record of third world countries that have attended the Olympics. This document would have shown how wealth effects and shapes the modern Olympics.…

    He used to be a god, but was accused of starting a war between the Roman demigods and the Greek demigods, presumably nearly wiping out the entire demigod race. Zeus accused him of this and has temporarily removed him from Mount Olympus, the temple of the gods. At first, he is overwhelmed by his loss, and was usually very full of himself as a god, but having his powers, and good looks, taken away from him, him needing to get over that shows that he is a nice person, and he learns that everyone is just as important as he…

    While I read this I notice that there are monsters on Earth yet no one else is seeing them. As I read further I wonder why Percy sees these monsters and if Percy will have to fight demons off on a regular basis. How will he cope with being a demigod? Does his family know? These are just a few of the questions that run through my mind as I read. During the fight scene I can visualize Percy, scared and quivering, forced to fight for his life. I know if that was me I would be scared out of my mind. Now I want to know, what will happen next?…
