Percy Jackson #4: The Battle of the Labyrinth

As we return to Percy's adventures, He and his friends discover Deadalus's Labyrinth. You know, the one which had the Minotaur in it until Theseus came along and separated it's head from it's body. (They discover it when Percy and Annabeth fall into a crack in Zeus's Fist, the pile of rocks in camp half-blood that looks like a giant fist from a distance. The crack was an entrance to the labyrinth.) Unfortunately, this labyrinth stretches across the USA, and there are entrances all over the place, making it easy for Cronos's army to get into camp! (OH NO!!!!!!!!!1!!!) Will Percy be able to stop them? What will this 'Battle of the Labyrinth' be? And what does a mortal girl named Rachel Elizabeth Dare have to do with anything?

My favorite scene is where is the battle that happened at camp half-blood. It had a zillion sacks full of action-packed which were all used exactly right! I'd say, What a bunch of wham-slam-kablam! Another cool part was the part where Cronos got his body. (no hints on who's body) I think the cool part of that is where Niko uses his true power as son of Hades against Cronos. The Whole book is filled with action and I recommend this book to anyone.
