I would recommend this book if you are in to action books. This book is a fighting type book but it is with swards and shields instead of guns and bullet proof vests. The book will give you some history about Greek mythology like Icarus and the Labyrinth. It also teaches who the Greek Gods are and what they are gods of. I would recommend reading the first book before you read this one.

This is the fourth book of the Percy Jackson series. In this book an old Titan Lord is having a servant create a new body for him to inhabit. The Titan army is planning on destroying Percys army and then going to war with the gods. But to get to Percys army they must go through the Labyrinth, which is a maze that is constantly changing shape and trying to kill you. To get through the maze the Titans need to get a magical device. It is the only thing that will guide you through the Labyrinth without getting you killed. Percy is sent on a "quest" to see if he can prevent this. But to prevent it he has to go to the very middle of the Labyrinth and get the device before the Titans do, and not get lost or killed.

I like this book because I like learning about the different Greek myths. I have had an interest in them before but this is cool because it adds them to a regular story. I also like the Greek Gods. They have a lot of different ones. In this book they have the god of wine Dionysus, and it tells you some of his powers and what he is believed to look like. The book puts Greek Mythology and facts into a story.

"People don't show up on the beach unless they're demigods or lost pizza guys." That is one of my favorite passages because the beach that it is talking about is along the coast and only "demigods" or gods can get to it. The beach has a magical border that will keep unwanted creatures or people out. The only people that can get past the borders are "demigods", half god half human, or actual gods.
