Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Okay, I am SUPER sorry! I totally forgot to do this on Saturday but I read the book last week, I think.... Anyway, the Book of the week is Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan. Percy and his campmates have been preparing for Kronos's attack on Mount Olympus for a long time and now he's here! The half-bloods get ready to defend the city of the gods but, unfortunatly, there's a slight complication. The Lord of Time released a powerful titan who could bring the gods and Mount Olympus down easily. The gods are battling the titan while only forty half-bloods must defend Mount Olympus from Kronos's massive army, alone. I think what I love most about this book is it's humor. Percy is hilarious! My favorite books are the kind that have good humor in it. And the kinds where you just pick it up and look at a page and you're hooked! The action and twists will catch you. I like to write stories but I never have the surprising turns in it that Harry Potter and this book have. The prophecies always throw me for a loop. They never turn out the way anyone would expect. I also love watching them unfold and figure themselves out. This book is definatly a must. I do NOT have favorite books but this is one of the best I read. And that is saying something! :) -J.E.
