The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4) by Rick Riordan

Book Description:
Percy Jackson isn't expecting freshman orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears on campus, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to diabolical.

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.


My thoughts:
Well.. after reading this series in a row, I realized I love this installment the best! Percy is facing real dangers now along with his usual band of musketeers (don't ask why I call them that). As the previous books have proof, this is a page turner. Being a great fan for the Greeks Myths myself, this has been a refreshing reads from the usual traditional stories, and of course refreshing how some of the stories are told, this series has became part of my favorite reads. The plot runs fast in this one and if you miss a couple of pages you practically miss the point. There are a also humorous part which I think, which only could be catch on by any Greek Myths enthusiastic out there.

I would recommend this to anybody who likes a semi-light adventure read. But I guess, young teens would surely love to read this one.
