The Last Olympian—finally

No way! I finished the last Percy Jackson book so no one has to listen to me blab on and on about them anymore! Woohoo! It's also the first series I've finished blogging. Celebratory moment, peoples. *hands out e-truffles and e-cake*
So. The thing is, this book is so popular that I kind of already knew how the plot goes. This is partly due to the time I spent poring over sites to find out each detail about the other four books to blog about. Also, some of my friends love the book, and they kept spewing quotes and facts about it. (coughcough-Intu-cough)
The battle thing was not as bad as I thought, and for a book with a melancholy-looking dark green cover, you'd find a LOT of humor. I found myself alternately snorting with laughter and mourning the death of various characters (it's a battle. What did you expect?). As always, Riordan does a great job of creatively jazzing up the Greek gods and heroes. It's a big pity the series is over.

Percy knows he's doomed. It's what his big prophecy says, and no one can change that. The camp, however, isn't quite as prepared for battle as he is, and they have to cobble together as many campers as possible to fight evil Luke/Kronos and his army of monsters. But after two days of nothing but gore (and disintegrating monsters), could there be a loophole that the all-powerful Titan hasn't thought of?
