As an incoming freshman, Percy isn't expecting his high school orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to worse. In this fourth installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos's army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop them, Percy and his demigod friends will set out on a quest through the Labyrinth-a sprawling underground world with stunning surprises at every turn. Full of humor and heart-pounding action, this fourth book promises to be their most thrilling adventure yet. |

Written on September 27, 2008 Summary: Its Dark, its Cold, Its the Labyrinth The Battle of the Labyrinth, I have to say, is my second favorite book in the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians series." The Lightning Thief is my favorite. The Battle of the Labyrinth is thrilling and spectacular. If you like mystery and adventure, read this book. Percy Jackson is the main character who is brave and courageous. He is a half-blood, meaning his dad is a god, Poseidon, and his mom is mortal. He is a fourteen-year-old teenager who is learning about the powers that he possesses. He needs to learn how to use his powers appropriately or run away. Percy, also, can be obnoxious because he makes stupid jokes at the worst times. This epic starts with a surprise attack on Percy by a demon-cheerleader while he is at summer orientation for another new school. As he flees, he takes a taxi to Camp Half-Blood and the real adventure begins. Percy and his friends, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson, find a secret entrance to the labyrinth and searches for its inventor, Daedalus, and a way to stop the evil Titan lord's , Kronos, invasion. Inside the labyrinth, it is dark, murky, chilly, and ever changing. It is full of entrances, exits, changing paths, and monsters. Percy kills monster after monster with his pen that turns into a 3-foot sword named Riptide. Inside Daedalus' workshop, they ask for the addias string, which is a guide that point the way through the labyrinth. They leave the labyrinth to get ready to destroy Kronos and his army. The camp was losing to the evil army until Daedalus sacrifices himself to destroy his creation, the labyrinth. Percy thinks his adventure of fighting Kronos is over but he was mistaken. (We will have to read the next book to find out what happens.) The theme of The Battle of the Labyrinth is to have great friends that you can trust, because friendships must prevail no matter the odds. Written on September 21, 2008 Summary: Excellent series! Purchased for 12-year-old son. It's always been difficult to get him to read, but he can't put these books down! I hope the series never ends. Written on September 18, 2008 Summary: My son can't wait until book 5 Four books down and one to go :-( (Mr. Riordan, PLEASE consider writing more books in the series!!!) This series has captured my son's interest and imagination unlike any other fiction series with the exception of the Magic Treehouse books. He is an 11-year old and despite being considered AG in reading skills, he would rather eat liver than read novels. My son's fifth grade teacher got him interested in the first book. After that, he had to have the whole set. He read all four books in about 1.5 weeks time -- usually reading over 100 pages a day -- even on school nights. He thought this book was the best though the ending definitely leaves you hanging -- and waiting for Book 5. The things that he likes best about the series: 1. Percy is a regular kid just like him who has his struggles in school. 2. He loves the Greek Mythology tie-ins 3. He loves the writing style and humor of the author 4. The stories don't take place in ancient times -- rather uses ancient stories in modern times. Now my problem is what to get him reading next. He isn't interested in Harry Potter or most of the other popular fantasy collections. If any one has a suggestion on other series with the above characteristics, please let me know -- I would be eternally grateful! Written on September 16, 2008 Summary: Excellent and Thrilling Book 4. All I can say is this book has to be the best one in the series so far. Rick Riordan really stepped it up with this book. As Percy grows older and more familiar with his powers, the monsters become stronger. This book is adventure-packed and hilarious. Though all the serious events happening in Percy's life are occurring, there are the funny moments. And, yet, Rick Riordan has put a new troublesome path in Percy's way with the hints of Annabeth and Percy possibly dating..... I can't wait for the next installment. Written on September 13, 2008 Summary: A story that keeps growing It's just another average day in the life of the son of Poseidon when Percy Jackson gets attacked at freshman orientation, causing yet another school to catch fire. Rick Riordan launches us on another adventure with Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, Grover, Niko, and even Rachel Elizabeth Dare (the mortal girl who can see through the magical mist the God's use to hide their world). Though the first three books of this series tended to be stocked with more stories of the Greek Gods, this book brings us from the learning stage to the doing stage. Percy is more comfortable with his world now, though there are always new surprises to be had, and he finds himself preparing for an inevitable battle. Friends become enemies, enemies become friends, in another thrilling adventure of young heroes. The quest for Pan goes on, for Grover, as Annabeth leads her first quest to stop Luke and his army of monsters from destroying the camp. The stakes are higher and the enemies more powerful, but the group of friends are determined to save their world from destruction. Even at the end of their journey, things look darker than before, but the journey itself has more or less prepared them for what is to come. It will not be long before Percy turns sixteen and the terrible prophecy begins. The story continues, and it brings the readers along in a journey that determines the fate of the mortal world. Fans of the series will not be disappointed and new readers are always welcome. This is, for me, the best book of the series so far. |
