The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4) Review
In this latest 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 must 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. User Submitted The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4) ReviewsMarch 8, 2010 Loving Percy Once Again I had already loved the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and this forth installment just makes make love it even more! It is once again filled with Riordan's fabulous writing. It amazes me in every book in this series how well he captures the voice of a young teen boy. Percy is such a lovable character. His sense of humor always gets me on his side everytime. In this installment we see our favorite heroes going on a quest inside the labyrinth, an underground maze that is never as it seems. The quest is lead by Annabeth this time. Annabeth had some hard decisions to make. She really had to grow up alot in this book, all the characters did really. Grover continues on his quest for the lost god Pan. I really enjoyed having Tyson back. Him and Percy are great together. I was pleasantly surprised to see Rachel back. I love how Riordan ties each story together and how each character he adds has a purpose. I have to say my favorite part of this one was watching Nico's character development. I am such a sucker for the angsty characters. I thought the Titan's Curse was action packed, but this one far out did it. Every chapter held an exciting scene that made it impossible to not jump into the next one. We meet some new gods and some new seriously freaky monsters on this journey. I have to admit that I teared up at a few parts, especially in the ending. Alot of the suspense is over at the end, but you are still left with some cliffhangers. Some of the outcomes were easy for me to decipher, but some of them seriously shocked me. I almost don't want to read the next book in the series because it is the last. I just don't want to let these characters go yet! I want to say so much more, but I would just be giving away spoilers if I did. Percy Jackson and the Olympians continues to be one of my favorite series. If you haven't started this series yet, do so ASAP! March 2, 2010 A-maze-ing book At Camp Half-Blood, Quintus has substituted for Mr. D. Percy and Annabeth team up in a new game. They find an entrance to the Labyrinth, and they start a quest along with Grover and Tyson. They make it to Triple G ranch and see Nico. Percy defeats Geryon and continues the quest, but Nico wants his sister back to life. Soon, they split up, but Percy almost gets himself killed. He meets Calypso, but can't stay with her. Percy gets Rachel to lead them since she can see through the mist. They meet up with Nico again, and find Luke's body for Kronos to reform. They return to camp for battle with Grover and Tyson after they find Pan. Grover causes a Panic to stop the whole thing and continues the quest in the next book. I liked this book because it had some funny parts. Percy's adventures continue in The Last Olympian. March 2, 2010 best book ever The battle of the labyrinth Two demigod friends Percy and Annabeth, one satyr Grover, and one Cyclopes Tyson set out for a dangerous quest to the labyrinth. Once in the maze they will have to face difficult challenges from fighting monsters to being on a game show hosted by a monster. I think it had a great story line and a lot of action and humor. I liked the main battle scene at the end. I think he did a good job following Greek mythology like using the real Greek monsters like the Minotaur. March 1, 2010 For use in a special Ed classroom. My students are hooked on this book series. They have gone from non readers to reading without it being assigned. Thank you. March 1, 2010 Great Book purchased this one after reading the 1st in the series, very good book, it is fairly easy with it being for kids/teens. I actually bought the entire series and finished all 5 in less then a week. If you read the Harry Potter series you will love this series just as much.
