As the Last of a Series, The Last Olympian, Doesn't Disappoint

The Last Olympian is the fifth and final book in the Percy Jackson series, written with warmth and wit by Rick Riordan. Riordan is the former writer of non fiction books about greek mythology. His love of greek mythology has pushed the series past other fantasy books, his novels are never dark and always fun-filled. Obviously gods like Athena, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon populate these books, but the real interesting thing is how Riordan intertwines his main character Percy, with the past exploits of such heroes as Theseus, Achilles and Hercules. All of the great greek characters and gods have been peppered throughout the series whether it's Medusa or Ares all of the characters have a modern edge that makes all the books worth reading, Ares is a biker, Poseidon wears Tommy Bahama, and most memorably is Hades with a very emo-take on his character. I advise this book to everyone because even though nothing will ever beat Riordan's first book of the series, The Lighting Thief, this is still a completely enjoyable fable.
