The Last Olympian
What did people...
What did people think of the last PJ? I liked it. At the beginning, I thought that Percy kind of caught Stu-itis, but i liked the way the prophecy turned out--not how I expected. Percy and Annabeth were uber predictable, though. . .:)
Anyways, what were you guy's thoughts?

I loved it!!! I agree, though. Percy and Annabeth were super predictable. Anyone else read the series? Also, for those who know what I'm talking about, I never wanted Rachel and Percy to be together, so I was happy when she made that big decision....I won't give away any more....:)

I enjoyed it. There were, however, many drawbacks.
SPOILER ALERT!
The end was too happy and predictable. Percy eventually sounded really conceited. I actually was worried RReirdon would pull a CFunke and kill Annabeth, setting Percy up with Rachel. What kind of auther does that! Actually, it was the opposite problem: nobody important died. Just lots of unimportants.Still,very good book. There will be more!

UNIMPORTANTS? *spoiler alert*
What are you talking about? Beckendorf died! He was my favorite character. And RRiordan had the nerve to kill him. *fumes silently* But I hated SBeauregard. Glad Riordan killed her off.

Woah hold up. You calling Bekendorf, Selina, Michael, Luke, Ethan, etc, etc, unimportants. Come on! I mean, Luke is, like, one of the most important carachters. The whole storyline is based on what Luke does. And Selina, she, like, destroyed the camp cuz she was the spy, ya know. And Ethan formed Kronos by pledging his alleigance.
LOL. I almost died laughing when P& A kissed. But, ya know, it was soo predictable. Anyone who hates someone else so much that they invent a new nickname for them (Seaweed Brain, Wisegirl.) are, like, meant for eachother.
But i also cried when luke died. And it was so heartbreaking with May Castellan and all, with Percy saying: Making lunch for a son who would never come home. Wipes tears from cheek.

I thought it was pretty good! But I really wish Percy didn't have to be the main character! He's so... annoying! That's pretty much the main reason I don't think it's one of the best series' ever. I hate Percy - and Thalia, who's basicaly just a female version of him! I like Rachel, Grover, and Annabeth a lot though. Hey - this is kind of random, but has anyone read the Cronus Chronocles? They're a lot like the Percy Jackson books, but still very original.

Yes, there will be a spinnoff series.
Yes, I have read the CC; they are good.

Are you kidding? U cannot hate percy. And the Cronus Cronicles like, completely messed up Mythology. Also, they so copyed PJO. Like totally. And Anne Ursu had got to have her Muses mixed up or something, cuz Thalia is the Muse of Comedy, not singing. Like, come On!!!
Is anyone else out there an ancient roman, greek, egypt, etc, etc, freak? My fav nonfiction things to read about: Vesuvius/pompeii, Cleopatra and the whole Ceasar mess up, and Greek mythology. The greeks were so.... nifty. thats the word.
Warriors were great until erin hunter started writing the last New Prophecy. Then the whole series pretty much went down the hill from there. I cant beleive it.
A series of unfortunate events. Lemony Snicket, aka Daniel Handler, like, built up this huge mysterius thing, then just, like, stranded it. I mean, what a way to ruin readers appetites for a book by stranding them on an ilsand and ending the whole series.
