There was a distinct lack of Janus. Also no Khaos.
Actually, Janus was in the fourth book. He played a pretty important part. But what really pissed me off was the complete and utter lack of so much as a mention of Nike. I mean, come on! She's like the coolest goddess ever!
Lets not forget Hektate.
She was there too, mentioned several times.
Also; I can't believe I forgot to mention Harris and Me by Gary Paulsen. Quite possibly the funniest book I've ever read, next to the Hitchhiker's Guide of course.

*has not read the fourth book*
Well, still. More Janus is needed. God of doors and portals?! Yesss.
Also, they didn't mention Nike? :O Goddess of victory is kinda fitting for a story that revolved around trying to be victorious over something >_>
Also, were any of the older Greco-Roman gods ever in there? Erebus, Aether, Tartarus, etc.
Hitchhiker series is prolly my favorite overall series of all time. The original three were the best, of course . . . I reference it in casual conversation whenever possible because it's so awesome :t

Some of them got brief mentions in the fifth and fourth books; Oceanus, Typhon, Hyperion, Atlas(major player in the third book, mentioned in all the others), Krios, and Nereus(also 3rd book) can all be found.

The mix of hardcore sci-fi, political stuff and plain good writing is one of the (as critics and well...me say) best science fiction novels of all time...
Last year, for a spree of about 6 months, I read ONLY Orson Scott Card books... all the ender's series, the earthcoming series, the empire duet, the alvin series and more stuff ny that fabulous writer..
Also the hunger games series is amazing and it ended my spree... James Dashner's "The Maze Runner" is also one of my favs....
Honestly, it's probably Atlas Shrugged. Ayn Rand is so good at developing a story and relatable characters, while still having the main point clear. Also Machiavelli's "The Prince," as someone mentioned.
It is good. My class last year was assigned to read that book, then complete the sheet full of questions and write our review about the book.
Most of the students in the class loved it including myself. Some though(I'd say about three people) didn't like it. They didn't have any reasons for disliking it either. They just complained it about being too long. Which it is not unless you don't read one chapter every day.
I also like reading some goosebumps books. All of those were really great and I liked the scary theme of them all.
