The Last of the Olympians

[DoctorDude234]

Is any one else beside me looking forward to the latest Percy Jackson book?

The end of the world, and all that?

It would be pretty cool if came out on the same day as the last God of War/

Having only started the book series thanks to my little sister bringing home "The Lightning Thief" and "The Sea of Monsters" home from her school library- I can't say I like them, Greek mythology is kinda an overdone thing to make stories out of and frankly the "heart of the west" plot device that allows Percy to visit Olympus without having to travel to Greece is kinda cheap.

But this series does get credit for having protagonists with ADHD/Dyslexia and very openly dealing with the topic of illegitimate relationships by having the main characters be the THOUSANDS of products of illegitimate relationships- even if there are far superior books dealing with those subjects (for an example of a book dealing with "special needs" characters, try the book "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time", it's narrated by a character who is a kid (okay, not exactly a kid) with autism/aspergers/something along those lines).

had the author made up his own mythos I might actually be interested in reading more of this series.

I don't know if this is the right topic to put this in but the trailer for The Lightning Thief has been released!
