Percy Jackson 4: The Battle of the Labyrinth
Sorry for the long time, but I've been very busy, at least recently.
I've just realised that all the PJ books are very similar and of almost same quality. So yes, it's still good, still funny, still about Percy (no!). Still about Percy and Annabeth, still about Grover's quest, still about Tyson and Chiron and Camp Half Blood, still about Luke and Kronos. I liked it, it'd been a long time since we'd had that desparation to read a book - racing inside to get to it first, bickering over how long it'd been since you'd finished that chapter (we often try to read about a hundred pages/some chapters at a time, so that there's some fairness), staying up late/getting up early to read. It started with HP, actually. Great compliment.
P.S. Have you told you how much I like Riordan's description of centaurs? Mostly centaurs (H.P., Narnia) are described as grave and solemn and learned, I loved his zany, idiotic, 'party ponies' idea.

I can safely say confusion, I think, without giving spoilers. A little bit of jealousy. They're both totally obvious, though.
I think it's meant to be a five book series.

Yeah... I love that series too! And five books? I thought it was seven, like HP!
In this book too, there's that those-who-are-dead-are-not-dead thing. I dunno why, it really irritates me.

Five books?
This is the fourth, girl.
You're way off your mark.
I introduced everyone to Percy, and then got off them myself. Funnily enough, I own the only books I haven't read.
And I dunno if I will read them eventually or not.

Ummm, yeah, this is the fourth, but I think there are meant to be five books in total. Which means he has a lot to do in the last book, which will hopefully be the next one.
Surprisingly, a lot of people in my class have read Percy, even people I would not normally associate with any kind of reading.
I still like Percy, though. I tend to follow up all series.
