olympians are everywhere...

This title doesn't pop up out of the blue.

I was done reading the series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" last night. It took me almost a month to finish the last book, Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian. I know.. Im not always like this. Like i read 300-page books in a day however because of the busy month of Jan, i wasn't able to finish up my readings. There's my baby sis getting sick and me getting tired a lot lately. I just hope that my illness is not coming back. Oh no! not this year.

Well, talking about the book. I love it. I just love it. It was a master piece. When i first started with the series, I thought that this was just another "Harry Potter" on the making. Like it was all about adventures and super hero stuffs. Like the author (Rick Riordan) just made a different setting, a different plot but basically it will turn out to be something like superhero stuffs. Well, i was wrong at one point. It was all about superhero stuffs but not the famous line, "and he saved the day." end of story. No! it was an adventure of a lifetime. Waaaah.. my being bookworm was kinda popping up lately. Like what's my favorite shop in a mall aside from F21? hmmm... a book store. Powerbooks, National Bookstore and Fullybooked are on my list of "to-go-to" every time im on a mall.Why not? A book can take you to a place you never imagined existed.

Percy Jackson is about a story of young demigod (Perseus Jackson) who lives in a modern day setting, as in as modern as New York City with the Empire State Building. Yeah it was like Perseus on the Clash of the Titans and the Greek myths that once he reached 16, he will define his destiny.. -to save or destroy the Olympus.

Here are the books in the series.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief  

Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters

Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse

Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrynth

Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian

They even have a book for the demigod files and the ultimate guide to the characters. These books really helped.

What i love about it?

* It tells us that everything is this world is nothing without the Gods. Like they create every thing that you see in this world that we lived in.
* It reminds us that even Gods can make mistakes.. (they're not allowed to have children but who can explain the demigods?)
* It tells us that promises are made to be broken so be sure to oath on the River Styx everytime you asked someone to make promises. hehe.
* It tells us that no man can be incompletely invulnerable. Your greatest weakness is also your greatest hope.
* It tells us that amidst the difficulties, you will realized that family matters most.and that Hope will always be there as long as you are not freeing it. Once you lose it, everything that you ever wished for will be gone and lastly you cant abandoned a sinking ship if your friends and families are there. You will do everything to save them even if it means risking your own life.

So guys.. read it now and enjoy. =)
