This is a wonderful series - May 19, 2008

Percy Jackson always knew he was different...turns out that he's a demi-god...that means the child of a god and a mortal - at a certain age, he gets the word to go to a camp for these kids - it's called appropriately Camp Half-Blood...
You know the Greek Gods - they were powerful and er, prolific...needless to say there are a lot of kids at the camp!
Each summer these kids go on a quest - things are happening - the Titans are trying to come back and defeat the Greek Gods - Yikes!
The kids of the camp have to enter the Labyrinth to stop the Titan revolt. They meet another child of Athena - Daedalus - remember Daedalus and his son Icarus? That's the guy -
This book continues to amaze the adventure and Rick Riordan is amazingly accurate in his knowledge in Greek Mythology - I take my Hamilton book on mythology out and learn more and more every time I read one of Riordan's books.
Love Percy Jackson - OK the series is for kids...but us big kids really love the series too.
Long live Camp Half-Blood!

The Battle of the Labyrinth is the fourth of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, following The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, and The Titan's Curse. Several new gods are introduced, and the book picks up an ominous pace as it draws closer to the finale, and the determining battle between gods and Titans.
Percy Jackson has just been accepted to a new school. Again. And despite his every intention not to get kicked out of this one too, being a demigod with Poseidon as your father tends to attract trouble. And monsters, in the form of peppy-but-deadly cheerleaders. After accidentally starting a fire, Percy makes a break for it - along with a mortal girl, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, who has the unusual ability to see through the Mist, the substance that usually hides gods and monsters from mortal eyes.
When he finally makes it back to Camp Half-Blood, Percy finds that all is not well there. His friend Grover is in danger of losing his lifelong dream, his friend Annabeth is treating him oddly, and - worst of all - Nico di Angelo, the half-blood son of Hades, is still at large, trying to bring back his dead sister in exchange for another, living soul.
But all of these pale in comparison to the danger of Kronos, whose followers are growing and whose resurrection is now imminent. When Annabeth is assigned a quest through the perilous Labyrinth of Daedalus, she takes Percy along for the ride - as well as Grover and Percy's Cyclops half-brother, Tyson.
This is the most exciting and action-packed book yet, as the darkness closes in. Real losses and horrors are experienced in this one, both private and large-scale. It is clear that the final battle is drawing near, the battle in which - according to the prophecy - either Percy, or Nico di Angelo, will have a pivotal role to play in either the victory or destruction of Olympus and the gods.
Highly recommended.
Rating: Very good

This is one of the best books I've read recently. It is cool because it has all the Greek Gods. It is a fast pased adventure/fantasy book with great dialog. I would recomend it to anyone.

This is the fourth installment in this excellent series about half greek god, half human kids who must battle the Titans to save the world from destruction. When the kids find out the Titans are planning to use the Labrinth, an enourmous underground maze created by the 2000 year old inventor Daedalus, to invade their halfblood training camp they dcide they must act. Halfbloods Percy and Annabeth, along with their friends Grover the Satyr and Tyson the Cyclops must navigate to Daedalus' workshop at the center of the labrinth so the can convince him not help the Titans find their camp and to help the good guys instead. Unfourtunately, not only is the Labrinth treacherous with a trap around every corner, Daedalus had already given the Titans a tool to navigate the Labrinth. The kids return to their camp and prepare to fight a battle. When the Titan army comes out of the Labrinth they are waiting and eventually they drive the Titan army out of the camp. But the triumph is short lived. Kronos, lord of the Titans, has reformed and is drawing more creatures into his army. Soon he will attack olympus but that is for the next book. This was an excellent read and all the stuff about greek myths made it very interesting. I would recomend this book to anyone.
