The last book of the Percy Jackson series, The Last Olympian sees the fulfillment of the prophecy and the final battle of monsters and demi-gods.
I know the books are aimed at teenage readers but I still loved them.
Read them! You’ll enjoy it.
Book 4 of the Percy Jackson series is The Battle of the Labyrinth. This book sees Percy blow up another school and get propelled into another adventure in the world of the Greek Gods and heroes.
This time around the “Lord of Time” Kronos is finally reformed. Percy’s rival/nemesis Luke gave everything to bring the titan back. Grover finally finds the god Pan and comes into his own.
There is a lot of growth in our hero and the main characters in this book. Percy is still 15 but is starting to deal with a lot more than monsters chasing him. The author does a great job, as always, of blending a good tale from the legends of mythology and giving them a modern bend.
A good read and a great book
Eragon is the first book in the Inheritance Cycle. Written by Christopher Paolini in 2002, it delivers the classic hero’s tale of a orphan book who is more than he appears.
Eragon was fun to read and goes down pretty easy. Outside of it being more or less unbelievable at times, it was an enjoyable book.
Great book if you like the genre.
The Last Mile is a story of the vindication of a death row inmate, Melvin Mars, after 20 years of false imprisonment. A washed up detective, Amos Decker, helps to put the pieces together the murder of his parents who and why his parents were killed.
This book was well written and kept me engaged and entertained. I’m not quite sure what I was looking for but the plot took another direction
If you like mysteries, this is a great book.
The Titan’s Curse is book three in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. The Titan Kronos is slowly coming back to power and his general Atlas is freed of his burden. Percy and his friends have to save an innocent creature from sacrifice or Kronos will return.
After I read book 2 I had to move along to book 3. Another fun read from Rick Riordan. Percy is getting more familiar with his powers and is noticing he has feelings for his friend Annabeth.
Another great book
The Sea of Monsters is book 2 in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Percy finds himself back in adventures as his beloved Camp Half Blood is under siege.
I hadn’t remembered I had read this till I started through it again. There are more books in the Percy Jackson series and I thought this was one of them. However, I was glad I read it again.
Great read. Perfect for the teenage boy.
The third and final book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Return of the King finally sees the great war through and ends an age on Middle Earth.
Again I enjoyed the read. The most recent movie gets further and further away from me as I read the actual book. Though it follows it closely, it isn’t much of a match for the book.
If you haven’t read it then you should.
The Two Towers is the sequel to The Fellowship of the Ring. It continues the story of Frodo and Sam and the Ring of Doom.
I always feel a bit like I just want to get through this book. However, so much happens in it, you can’t just skip it. I’ve read it enough times and I still mix up what happens in each book.
It isn’t the first and it isn’t the last. It’s like the middle child who can’t quite get enough attention…
Great book. Try not to rush through it.
I don’t think there needs to be too much introduction to this book. The Fellowship of the Ring is J.R.R. Tolkien’s the first book in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
I enjoyed this rendition of the book. I’ve read it a few times now and I enjoyed the audiobook. It was much quicker and still enjoyable. However, it did skip a good deal of the details.
The story itself keeps you engaged throughout the story. The whole series is the classic hero’s epic of how Hobbits saved all of Middle Earth.
Read it rather than watch the movies. They are good but the book is better.
Background
The Hobbit is the first book which kicked off the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien over 80 years ago. It is the tale of a halflings, or Hobbits, or rather, one Hobbit and an adventure he hadn’t planned on taking. This is a fantasy story of dwarfs, elves, dragons, goblins, trolls, and others… The book was originally a children’s book before it was taken and made into 3-PG-13 movies.
I’ve read this book several times and this go around was the most unique. I was scheduled for 2 teeth which were in need of root canal re-treatments and was facing at least 3 hours in a dentist’s chair. I wanted something to take my mind off of the drama and felt this was a good way to go.
For the most part, it worked. I still enjoyed the book, which is saying something as I was literally being drilled during it. Particularly, I enjoyed the BBC radio version. All the characters had their own voices and it really made it come to life.
Great book! Well worth the time and effort.
