The Lost Hero book review!

The title of my book is The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. There are 553 pages in this book. The topic of this book is greek and roman mythology. There are no awards this book has earned. It took me 2 weeks to read this book because the book is really good. The main characters of this book are Jason,Piper, and Leo.

        The time of this book is a few months after the titan war that happen in a pevious book. The place were the store takes place is at camp half blood which is in long island and there is many more places they vist. The protagonists of this story are Jason,Leo,and Piper. one of the choises Jason had to make was to jump off the clif to save Piper from falling. A major conflict was at the beginning when Jason fights the storm spirits.

        The themes in this book are adventure and Greek mythology. I Think what the messages is that you really dont know your friends untill you see things clearly. Yes i disagreed with what Piper did she was hiding that she was having dreams that someone was treating her and her friends.


        The things that I liked about Lost Hero was that they incorparted the roman Gods. I also liked greek and roman mythology. I also read the Percy Jackson seirse which is also about Greek Mythology. What I didnt like about this book was that they had it in the point of view of three different people.

        I recommend this book to anyone who likes Greek mythology and for people who like to have a good laugh. Just dont look at the size of the book and see how many pages it has just read it because I did the same thing I thought it was going to take forever to read but I was wrong about it. These are the reasons I believe you should read this book.

Lord Loss Book Review!

Lord loss by darren shan was a great book. It has 224 pages of action, horror, and chess. This book only took me 4 hours to read. the main characters of this story are Grubbs, Bill-E, Dervish, and lord loss. The setting of this book is at Grubbs house a mental instution, and then to the little town were Dervish lives at.
the protagonist of this book is Grubbs. One choice of that the main character had to make was to leave with dervish or to stay in the mental instution. Well the major event in the book cant be said because it will be a spoiler. the antagonist of the the book is Lord Loss. Other charaters of the book are bill-E Lord loss demon helpers and Grubb's mom dad and sister.
the themes of the book are horror and action. chess is a game so have fun with it. The ending of the book shows how chess is a game your ment to have fun with. No the character decisions i agreed with.
The thing I liked about this book was that they play a tag team chess death match and the prank that grubbs plays on his sister. To me there was anothing wrong with the book.
I recommend this book to any one who likes horror,chess,and the supernatural. If your not a fan of horror this book will make you into one. Its a quick read so dont say I cant read the book because theres no time for me to read it.
