Description:
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.

Review Summary: Best Book Ever |

Details: The Battle of the Labyrinth is the fourth book after Titan's Curse in Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. It is all about the Olympian Gods being alive and well in the twenty-first century. The main character, Percy Jackson, named after the great Greek hero, Persius, goes into the labyrinth built by Daedalus, the great Greek inventor. He is sent on a quest to find out where his enemy is in the great maze. He comes out alive after a macabre chain of events. The Battle of the Labyrinth is awesome because of the action, the connections with Greek mythology, and it's a great follow-up to Titan's Curse.
The Battle of the Labyrinth is all about Percy's fights with Greek monsters. The first battle that Percy has is with two empousai. Two empousai, or vampires, dressed as high school cheerleaders attack Percy and his new friend, Rachel Elizabeth Dare. He kills one of them with his sword anaklusmos, or otherwise know as riptide, but the other vampire escapes. The next battle is with a sphinx, but, instead of a riddle, Annabeth has to answer game show questions. Percy's friend, Annabeth, the daughter of Athena, is insulted by how stupid the Sphinx's questions are and says, "I'm the child of Athena and this is an insult to my intelligence. I won't answer these questions." The Sphinx goes after her. Percy and his brother, Tyson, who is a Cyclops, kill the sphinx and saved Annabeth. The third best battle in the book is Percy's battle with a son of Nemesis. They fight for hours until Percy finally escapes. These are the best battles I can tell you about. To find out the best read about the best battles, you'll have to read the book yourself.
Percy Jackson and the Olympian books have many connections with Greek mythology but Battle of the Labyrinth has the most. Percy and his friend are trapped in the labyrinth, the great holding place of the minotaur. The same place where Theseus killed the Minotaur many, many years ago. Percy even meets Daedalus, the great Greek inventor who made the labyrinth. Daedalus doesn't even look that old. Percy is the son of Poseidon. It is interesting that Riordan didn't choose Zeus as his father. The reason is because he didn't want Percy to be too powerful. If Percy were the son of Zeus then he wouldn't want to strive to more greatness because he would already be the best.
The Battle of the Labyrinth is a good follow up to Titan's Curse. It answers many of the questions of Titan's Curse. For example, it answered that Nico di Angeleo is still alive. The characters from Titan's Curse were really great and Riordan didn't kill any of them in Battle of the Labyrinth. Also, in Battle of the Labyrinth, Annabeth plays a much bigger role. This is good because she is a most interesting character. She acts like she knows everything and is always blurting out facts. She is Percy's best friend and long with Grover a satyr. He is scared of everything. Rick Riordan said he is his favorite character to write about because Grover is scared anything and everything. He is the comic relief for
At the end of The Battle of the Labyrinth Riordan leaves the reader hanging for The Last Olympian. Nico tells Percy how to kill the enemy of the story, Luke. Also, I want to know if Riordan kills off any of the main characters. READ THIS BOOK! It is the best book you will ever read. I promise you will be satisfied with this book.
Score:10/10 of course I love this book |

Details: The fourth installment is the best yet as Percy and his "heroic" friends set out on yet another perilous quest, this time into the Labyrinth.
My entire family has been drawn into the world of Percy Jackson and we eagerly await the next book. Book Four is our favorite thus far and I encourage anyone that enjoys a fun, fantastic story to experience this series first hand. I do not think you'll be disappointed. |

Details: My son age 10 is enthralled with this series and couldn't wait to get this book. (This from a child who hates to read and has dyslexia /ADHD himself.
The story is great , fast paced, true to modern day. In my son's words "totally awesome" I'd recommend this to any young reader - but especially boys. |
