Rick Riordan's book The Last Olympain is the fith and last book to the Percy Jackson series is jam packed with lots of action, romance and adventure. It is about a young boy who finds out he is a son of Posiedon. He goes on many adventure with his two best friends Gover (a satyr) and Anabbeth (daughter of Athena). Percy goes to a summer camp where halfblood's (one parent a god, one a human) train to fight monsters. In the world of Percy Jackson all greek gods are real and anything else in greek mythes aswell actualy happened. Kronos (titan king and worst enemies of the Gods) is being reancarnated with the help of a camper who betrayed the gods Luke (son of hermes). Percy with his fellow campers ,all the greek gods, some magical satyrs and a group of centaurs goes to war against Kronoses huge amry. I would reccoumend anyone to this book to any one whose read/know of the greek myths. I would rate this a 8.5/10 because it is one of my favourite books that i have read so far. Before you read this great book read the first 4 in order or else this one will not make any sense.
Why is reading important? Reading is important because everything read no matter what it is or how long it makes you a little bit smarter. I read because I enjoy the stories books tell me (and the worlds they take me to (read inkspell by Cornial Funke for more info.)). Read is important so you can escape from a bad day and live someoneesles life. If you want to be a smart person or just like escaping from your life, into someone elses shoes read many, many, many books.

The Lord of the Rings: J.R.R. Tolkien
The best books ever written in the worlds are written by no other then the crazy man J.R.R. Tolkien himself wrote this three book Sega The Lord of the Rings which are exciting, thrilling, and unsuspecting books about a young hobbit name Frodo Bagins who is on a quest to save middle from the evil Sauron(I do not how to spell it). Frodo is sent on a quest to the lands of Mordor with 8 companions(3 hobbits name Sam, Pippen and Marie, 2 men named Aragorn and Boromir, a elf named Legolas, a dwarf named Gimli and finally the great wizard Gandalf the Grey(white)) chosen chose by the counsel of elders. They are sent to destroy Saurons most powerful weapon that Frodo now has possession of the One ring. The group sent on this mission are the Fellowship of the Ring (book ones title). This book takes u all over middle earth from the peace full land of the hobbits the Shire to the glorious land of men Gondor and the ancient abandoned land of dwarfs the Minds of Moria. When reading this book you will learn about all different kinds of species from elfs to orcs and dwarfs to men. You will learn of all the magic rings ever made and who they were given to. You will be able to look at the map of middle earth and follow the path the fellow ship is travelling on. At the end of the the third book if you want to learn more about middle earth you can read the appendix(history and short stories of earlier ages in middle earth). If you enjoyed Reading this Sega read other books by J.R.R Tolkien which most of these books are connected to the main books The Lord of The Rings; such as The Hobbit or The Children of Hurin. I would recommend this book to anyone 12+ and who enjoys books with excitement, detail, fantasy, mid evil times, magic, and mythical crature. I would rate these books 9.5/10 because they are favourite books I have ever read. My favourite book out the three is the second book: The Two Towers because it is mainly about one of my favourite characters (next to Legolis) Pippen and his side journey to becoming a night of Gondor. It includes a huge battle between the Fellowship and a giant group of orcs who came to kidnap Frodo for Sauron. It also the battle of Helms Keep where Legolis and Gimli have a compatistion to see who can kill the most orcs.
When your done reading the books check out the famous Lord of the Rings movies which one of my favourite movies based on books because they include most of the story line from the books with great detail. There are few changes of the story line for the books. All of the actors fit the characters descipitons in the book very well. If you loved the books as much ass I did you should check the movies. Actually even if you did not enjoy the books check the out the movies because every one who sees them thinks they are amazing. You should also keep your ears tuned for the new prequel to the Lord of The Rings, The Hobbit which is about the hobbit who adopted Frodo and raised him as his son Bilbo Bagins. Bilbo goes on a quest with a group of dwarfs and Gandalf the Grey to rid the dwarfs mountain of the last dragon of middle earth Smog. The Hobbit should be a very good movie because it is directed by the same director that director The Lord of the Rings. I can not wait till it comes out.
