"The Battle of the Labyrinth is the 4th book of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. A heroin boy and his friends set off into the Labyrinth a maze that is alive and underground with many sorts of traps waiting for it's prays. Satyr Grover had one week to find Pain the god of nature, along with Percy and Annabeth. There in the maze they find Luke who is siding with the titans. On their quest they had another friend help them Rachel. A human moral who can see through the mist and guide them through the maze. Aside, from all the god stuff Percy has reached the age of 15, and is sort of a girl magnet, not only is he having problems with his god side but also his human side. I find mythology extraordinarily interesting with all the myth gods and their powers. This book held my attention until I was done with it. It connects mythology with the 21st century. It is intriguing to see how the author Rick Riordan mixes two different time periods all together so well. How he is able to come up with the idea of Olympic is up at the very top of the Empire State Building. Also, the movie for the first book is coming out in Feb 2010!"
"Wow. _Wow_. This book tied with "The Lightning Thief" as my favorite in the series -- which, considering how much I enjoyed TLT, is no easy feat. The series has never lacked for character development, but you can see the stakes drawing higher and everything beginning to draw together in this penultimate book of the Percy Jackson series, and it made for awesome reading. The Labyrinth was fascinating, imaginative, eerie, humorous (I clapped like a _seal_ when the Sphinx made reference to No Child Left Behind) -- the perfect setting for the next-to-last book. I loved the emphasis on family, Daedalus's character in particular; and while I did find Percy's dreams getting a little too frequent, they were at least involving enough that I didn't skip over them the way I did the singing in the LOTR trilogy! (The dreams were not only very important to the plot, they were well-written -- I suspect my impatience simply stemmed from the fact that, as in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," I didn't want to spend time on the past, I wanted my questions _answered_.)
Although, speaking of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" -- while I maintain that the Potter series is still superior in most ways, this was an immensely more satisfying read than "Half-Blood" -- questions were answered, if not ALL of them (ya gotta save _some_ stuff for the last book), and more seemed to _happen_ that was directly related to the coming battle. I actually found myself surprised that Kronos was still left standing by the book's end, because the conflict was so intense that having the good guys _not_ stop his rise (I suppose I'm giving things away here, but -- c'mon, you knew it was coming) was a bit of a shock.
So -- some awesome, awesome things. I went right from this into the final book, even though it broke my own rule about spacing out a series more widely than that -- but I simply could not wait to see what happened!"
"This is the exciting penultimate book in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series! I was so excited when I heard there was going to be a fourth one. Now, I finally have it on my shelf, yet another thouroughly, well read, immensly enjoyed book. The author begins the story with the kind of sentance you just know something dangerous and funny is sure to follow. "The last thing I wanted to do on my summer break was blow up another school." After an breif encountor with an old friend, our brave demigod hero barely escape two Empousai (demon, blood-thirsy cheerleaders). After watching the school go up in flames, he reunites with his friend Annabeth, a daughter of Athena, and runs back to Camp Half-Blood...because big trouble is brewing. The huge, earth-shattering, the-GODS-are-angry kind of trouble.
Fomer camp consuler Luke and his demonic army are helping the Titain Lord, Kronos, raise again after brooding in Tartarus for centeries. Their first step is to destory Camp Half-Blood! Percy and his friends must desend into the creepy,dangerous, ever-changing Labyrinth so they can find Daedalus, the man who created the deadly place, and hopefully get his help to stop Luke from invading Camp Half-Blood. Will they suceed in braving the dangers inside the Labyrinth without going insane?"
"The book "The Battle of the Labyrinth" is a true-to-heart keeper. The book is action-packed non-stopping from finish to end, the first few pages containg demon cheerleaders, and the last part of the book fighting a battle with the evil god Kronos. The series (there are 4 books in total) is about a boy named Percy who is a trouble-finder, because he does not like to start trouble but always finds away to get himself into it, that is told by his mother he is a Demigod, a half god half mortal being. It doesn't mean he has powers, but he does have ADHD which is known to the gods as war adrenaline. In "The Battle of the Labyrinth", Percy need to find a way to stop Kronos from taking over the world as a new ruler on Mount Olympus. Along the way Percy must get help from complete stranger, battle olden mythical creatures that have taken up day jobs as a disguise, and ultimately avoiding death. This book will have you in a trance, reading and reading, untill you finish the book. But don't start on this book just yet. There are 4 prequals that match this ending sequal in sequenced adventure."
