I never got around to reading this book and the rest of the series when I was younger, so I wasn't sure if I would still enjoy it as an adult. However, it was a really fun and enjoyable read! Percy is a great character and even though this was meant for kids his narration was still really witty and comical to me. Annabeth and Grover were also super loveable and endearing. I feel like a majority of the adults in this book suck but I feel like that's a given in these types of stories. Even though the plot is pretty predictable, I think that may be a given due to the type of book it is. It's really the characters, the humor, and the writing that really stood out to me!
