I've read this years ago. I remembered how I liked it so I reread it this year. I still liked it. This story is timeless and fun. I liked Percy, Annabeth, Grover and the gods. Even gods have problems, huh? I picked this up again after hearing about the series by Disney. I hope it's great. On to the next one✨

12 year old me would have been absolutely enamoured with this book and would have obsessed about being great friends with Percy, Annabeth and Grover. 36 year old me has some issues with the dialogue and character descriptions (SO MANY ugly things). I’ve already started watching the new Disney+ series and appreciate the changes that have been made to the story. 

But overall it’s a fun little romp - a very easy read and a great way to pique an interest in Greek mythology. I’m interested to see how Percy and his powers develop and where the story goes from here.
