I FINALLY got to finish the fourth Percy Jackson book that I started about a month ago. Yay. For some reason, the fourth installment read faster, the author seemed to have forgotten about Percy's ADHD for a while (not that I mind; the "I only learned what it said later" thing was getting kind of boring), and the plot kept getting more and more exciting (yay) and/or violent (bleh), with the last few chapters devoted to a battle at camp (bleh x 100). Very mixed reviews, if you will. In my opinion, this book would have worked as the last one in the series, as most of the characters find what they're looking for. The only loose end that needs to be tied up is how the demigod protagonists will defeat the newly born monsters and villains. Which the author takes care of in about 600 pages of fighting in The Last Olympian. Gee, I'm really looking forward to more gore.Okay. Well. Maybe I am looking forward to The Last Olympian. Once they get through about 50 holds at the library.
Plot summary: One more book, one more school Percy gets kicked out of. After escaping the cops (yep, there was an explosion. Again), he heads to Camp Half-Blood to keep away from the monsters. At camp, he and his friends discover an entrance to the Labyrinth, and they go on a quest to stop Evil Luke and Kronos the Lord of Time (or something) from invading camp via the entrance to the Labyrinth (ooh, more fighting, how fun). As the foursome try to meander through the Labyrinth's seemingly endless paths, Evil Luke is cooking up a new plan of his own.
