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.

Love all the books so much i have read every single book this guy has made cant wait for Trials of Apollo in may

I finished the third and am borrowing this one today!!!

I find the Battle of the Labyrinth much better than the previous book, The Titan's Curse, because I find the characters more like themselves in this book. The basic plot of this book was that after being attacked by two monsters at his freshman orientation at Goode High, Percy Jackson goes to camp-half-blood where he and Annabeth discovers an entrance to the labyrinth by accident. They then realized that since there was an entrance to the labyrinth in the camp, Kronos' army could easily attack the camp. So Annabeth, Percy, Grover, and Tyson go on a quest to stop the army before they could invade Camp Half-blood. I really liked this book because I think it was written in an interesting way and it keeps the reader captivated throughout the book.

Filled with action, passion, and romance. So romantic when Annabeth kisses Percy when she thinks he's gonna die. Yeah think that's the first time said that sentence. Anyway Percy, Tyson, Annabeth, and Grover have to travel through the Labyrinth to stop Luke from attacking camp Half-Blood.

i think this book is a good book for children who are 9-20 because we can understand more of what is going on.

Oh God, I Would NOT wanna Be In a Labriynth. Oh and I Dont Have this cover Either. Eh, Its Cool, Especially the Battle with Briares.

In my previous reviews for Percy Jackson I have mentioned that you should probably read the books in order and my reviews too, just for your benefit. ~~~~~~ This book has inspired me to write and read more books of this genre which is mythological adventure. It had made me more familiar with battle scenes and how to understand them. I really like it because it is relatable emotionally and I love how Percy desribes his struggles and puts as much humor into it as he can. It really makes me believe that this kind of alternate universe exists and that he could be an actual person. He really makes me think about how I can make a difference and why I should. He inspires me always.
