I read the book and it felt like an O.K. book for elementary-age kids. Why so low? I read Harry Potter in middle school and more intellectual and imaginative books than this.

I bought this book new and it arrived with ink inscription all over it, water stains, and in such terrible condition that I was hardly able to open it. I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing the book from another distributor. Amazon refunded my order after they charged me for return shipping. I received just under 40% of the original buy fee for my refund. Purchasing from this distributor is a terrible thought unless you prefer to loose your money.

I’m extremely obsessed with this series, but the 4th installment was missing a few things. Although it had a excellent 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 certainly missing something compared to the additional books. Hopefully the 5th book will be as excellent as the first three.

Percy Jackson is hard to deal with from a parental perspective. Of course, one issue is that he is a teenager. Another is the fact that he is a half blood thanks to being the son of the sea god, Poseidon. Then, there is that whole blowing up the school issue which happens on a honestly regular basis.
The last is what he is pretty much known for but he doesn’t want to ruin schools. He doesn’t wake up and plot to ruin a school. It just happens. With Percy’s plotted attendance at an orientation at Goode High School on East 81st in New York City as the novel opens, mother and son are both a bit apprehensive. There is extra pressure this time because mom’s boyfriend, Paul Blofis pulled strings from his position as English teacher to get Percy accepted to Goode High School where he will start the ninth grade in the fall despite Percy’s history of being kicked out of every school he has ever attended. The plot is to attend the orientation, get out before anything happens, and go spend the summer at the Half Blood Camp. Everything would have been fine too except for one tiny problem.
Demonic cheerleaders.
The two cheerleaders wanted Percy dead in the worst way and didn’t care what happened to the mortals that got in their way or the building itself. When all is said and done, Percy is on the run again headed for the Half Blood Camp. Not only will he have to clear his name yet again, but this time is going to have to go into the Labyrinth to delay Kronos who is building his army to take over the world and the modern day Mount Olympus.
This latest installment in the series is another action filled, regularly amusing, read for both teenagers and adults. Greek mythology is again brought to loud life by leader Rick Riordan who draws parallels and links between the very ancient myths and the modern world. While telling a fantastic tale, he continues to frequently satire various matters involving politics and education. Parents in Texas especially will appreciate the hilarious section involving the sphinx, the revised policy on the riddle, and TAKS as well as the No Child Left Behind Act. It’s simply “exemplary” writing to be loved and should be posted in every classroom across the state.
As he has done so well before, leader Rick Riordan (who also authored the very excellent Tress Navarre mystery series) has penned another installment that while excellent in its own right is a tiny cog in the series arc detailing the coming epic battle with Kronos. Character development is secondary as the characters have been well customary by this point. As a replacement for, the focus is action. Therefore, the ongoing issue of Percy’s prophecy is briefly touched on to remind readers with the main focus being the here and now as the battle of Labyrinth is a minor skirmish in the erect up to the Fantastic War. The war is coming and is should really be something.
