First Book Review
Book Title: Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth
Author: Rick Riordan
It is summer vacation and Percy needs to take an audition to join his class. However, school he went to so got destroyed because he is a demigod. Demigods are half human and half god. Unlike normal people they always are in danger. No matter where they go to, that place always has monsters trying to kill them. In this new school he was lined up until his turn but a cheerleader attacked him. Somehow he met Rachael, who is a mortal but see through mists, came out with her together. He met Annabeth, his girlfriend, and they headed to the camp half-blood. In there, Annabeth had a quest that was given from Hera, the god. Annabeth chose Percy, Tyson, a Cyclops who was a brother to Percy and Grover, a satyr who was half goat and half human to accompany the quest. They had to do a quest in the Labyrinth that Daedalus has invented it. Together they had to meet Pan and go to Daedalus before their enemy Luke or else their enemy will rise and camp half-blood will be destroyed. They faced danger and almost died but together they succeeded and came back safely.
The best part of the book is when they were on the quest. The author wrote the book very specifically and enjoyably that I felt like having a quest by my own just by reading a book. The quest was very fun and exciting. I was very satisfied with the book.
I truly recommend this book for grade 7 and higher students to read it. It may not be that helpful for educational purpose because this is a book that contains fiction and things that people will like rather than books that teach you stuffs that are important or interesting but I nevertheless recommend this book because by reading this they can have more thoughts and think more. Also people who do not like to read books might like books after they read it. They can fix their habits or produce habits for reading.
There were some parts that I did not understand. One part was when Luke died and Kronos went into his body. This was kind of too direct. How did Luke die? Why did other monsters that were stronger than him served him as the boss but killed at last? Was it a betray of killing Luke?
Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth is a series of Percy Jackson, written by Rick Riordan, which is about a boy Percy, a demigod who has Poseidon as his father fighting Kronos, a titan who plans to destroy Olympus. In this book, Percy needs to look for Daedalus, a demigod, who is a genius inventor.
Since I like adventure stories, I enjoyed this book very much. The plot was enthralling, and the surprise was not obvious, but was not far-fetched, either. My favorite part in this book was the part where Nico di Angelo summons the undead by using hamburgers and coke. In my opinion, I think it is very innovative, for when you think of a ritual, a person is ought to imagine something more dramatic, like ancient delicacy, or a food with a special meaning, for example, an egg means rebirth. Therefore, it was quite surprising to me when the ritual used a hamburger and coke, for it seemed to be far from dramatic. Still, I liked it very much.
My favorite character is Luke. I like him because he is, in my opinion, the most realistic character in this book. In the Percy Jackson series it is informed that gods hardly visit their demigod children. Therefore, the demigods only lived with one of their parents. That’s already bad enough, but then the demigod children have to suffer from the monster’s attacks that never seem to end. They need to suffer till they are brought to the half-blood camp, but things does not exactly get better there. You only get trained to be a hero, and that is all. Anyone will go crazy in that kind of condition. There mortal parents are helpless against the problems demigods face, and their godly parent never seem to care. And yet, there was only one person who got angry at their parent Luke. Therefore, I like him and his realistic and rebellious feature.
Although this book is great, there was a part I wanted to fix. Rick Riordan paired Annabeth and Percy together, maybe because he assumed that his readers would be delighted when there is a ‘happy couple’. I did not. I was depressed by the pairing. I don’t exactly hate romance, but I could not stand it. Almost all the books, the main female and male character always seem to fall in love with each other. I prayed that Percy Jackson to be different. My prayer was betrayed. Therefore, if I was the author, I would not pair Annabeth and Percy together, but just leave them as best friends, and for the romance part, let my readers imagine it themselves.
I will recommend this book to people who enjoy adventure and romance, for this book has both.
2nd Book review
Title: Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth
Author: Rick riordan
This book was one of my favorite of the series. It has adventure and love, also friendship. What happened was that Percy and Annabeth found daedalus’s magical labyrinth and goes in there with grover and tyson. Grover tries to find the god of the nature, pan. They meet people like biaries, and monsters that come from the deepist pit in the world, tartarus. Kronos goes into lukes body but luke was not dead, and at last They use rachel to find daedalus’s workshop. The main reason i love this book is because of romance. Percy and annabeth finally falls in loe, and it felt like i was going to float away when i read this book. It was a bit confusing, but totally understandable. It was a very fun book, and my favorite character is Annabeth. She is intellegent and also brave, and i could totally relate to Annabeth because her bravery and strength is like a illusion to hide her thoughts and feelings. I really enjoyed this book, and i totally recommend it!
Percy Jackson:The Battle of the Labyrinth
Author: Rick Riordan
This is a fiction book. It have written by Rick Riordan. Rick Riordan has perfectly put Ancient Greek mythology and modern live together and created a fantastic story around a teenager Percy Jackson.
This book is basically about Half-boold camp has in danger.Luke is back and he will bring hundred, thousands of monsters are from THE LABYRINTH to attack the camp. The only way to stop Luke is to go into the labyrinth and find the workshop of the labyrinth before Luke. Percy and his three friends were in the labyrinth and had a great adventure…
I love the most part is; when Percy they were fighting a Hydra( a female monster with human body and a dragon tail). They first quiet and carefully going through the cave of Hydra, but it saw them, and then they run and fight with it. The writing is fabulous and it’s so excited. I love it so much!
