Last word first: An exciting and highly satisfying conclusion to the series (4/5).This review contains spoilers for those who have not read the previous four books of the Percy Jackson series.
Description: The final battle has arrived. The Titan army is at full strength and are ready to launch their greatest weapon at Mount Olympus itself. The gods are failing, and it's up to Percy Jackson and the other half-bloods to win the day if they can. But, with a traitor in their midst, the half-blood army might just want to give up and prepare themselves for the rule of the Titans...
My thoughts: I waited and waited for my libary to get this book in, but I should have just one ahead and bought it. SO GOOD! Fans of the series will undoubtedly gobble this up just as fast as Joe and I did. Sure, the ending was maybe a little bit predictable, but it was also very satisfying and I loved it. If anything could tempt me to name my son "Percy" this book would be it.
Thirsty for more? You're in luck! Judging by the author's note at the end of The Last Olympian, Riordan has plans for more books featuring the residents of Camp Half-Blood. If that's not enough for you, a movie version of The Lightning Thief is due in theaters in February 2010. Directed by Chris Columbus and featuring Kevin McKidd (Grey's Anatomy), Uma Thurman, Rosario Dawson and Sean Bean as some of our favorite mythological beings, it promises to be well worth watching. Can't wait!!

I have been waiting for this to come out in paperback forever. Maybe I should just get it out of the library. The series is just so brilliant!
I just finished the first book in this series and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to see what the movie is like.

I was pretty disappointed about the ending, but I still heart this series. And I'm excited for Lightning Thief too.
Here's my review, incase you want to compare :)
