Of the two, Locke has been the most influential in shaping modern politics, our view of human nature, the nature of individual rights and the shape of popular constitutions that exist today on the other hand, Hobbes has influenced to some degree what can be done to change a government by the people. This, however, is were most of the similarities in opinion end. The key is that the people have granted this authority to the government and that authority rests in the people. This does not necessarily mean a democracy, but can be something as simple as a tribe or as complex as the fictional government described by Plato in The Republic, which is more like an aristocracy or communism rather than a Republic. They both are in favor of a popular contract or constitution, which is were the people give the power to govern to their government.

You also get some really great villains and a lot of suspense as well as humor and love. There is a lot of diversity in the books so everyone can relate to someone in the stories. Riordan incorporates favorite characters from previous stories so it ties them together better. He really struggles with not having his Godly powers and his narrative about his disappointing reality is hilarious. I have very much enjoyed this series, and I am sure it is because it is told from Apollo’s point of view. The Trials of Apollo: The Tyrants Tomb by Rick Riordan is another great book to add to our collection. The first three books were great and we have been waiting for book 4 to come out. My kids and I are fans of Percy Jackson and The Heroes of Olympus so we naturally wanted to read The Trials of Apollo.
