 Lacks something that the past books have May 11, 2008

I'm extremely obsessed with this series, but the 4th installment was lacking a few things. Although it had a good plot line, there was never a moment when i was thinking "AHH WHAT GREEK MYTH IS THIS I KNOW IT I KNOW IT" like i was in the last book. There wasn't enough Greek mythology influence in it. Also, character development was weak. Very weak, in fact. I hardly feel any difference between the 6th grade Percy Jackson and the high school Percy Jackson, and I expected there to be a lot more maturity and emotions between Annabeth and him. Although it's an intriguing and fun read, it was definitely missing something compared to the other books. Hopefully the 5th book will be as good as the first three.
fresh idea with a action-packed story May 10, 2008

This series was a blast to read. The story line wsa a great, new idea. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep me reading it. I pre-orderd this book a month or two ago, got it, and read straight through it, finishing at 2:00 AM.
I highly reccommend this series to all young adults.

I've really enjoyed each of the installments of Percy Jackson's adventures. I bought this newest one before a road trip and finished it in one day. This is a series that captures the imagination and leaves you anxiously anticipating the next one. I highly recommend it!

This is by far one of the best series I have ever read! It ranks right up there with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. It's writing is so original! Somehow it manages to be sarcastic and funny and sound like a teenager without getting tiring. I finished it in two days and wandered around for about an hour wishing I was still reading it!
Best Installment So Far!! May 8, 2008

This is the fourth installment of the Percy Jackson series, and the most engrossing since the first one. Percy Jackson and his friends try to explore the Labyrinth in order to find the inventor Daedalus and prevent Kronos from controlling the Labyrinth. This book has a lot of the humor of the first three installments, but it does take itself serious at times. A lot of the plot threads like Pan finally come to end. I am glad that the series has not run out of steam, and I wait steadily for the final installment.
