I loved this series as a kid and I'm finally rereading it as an adult for the first time. It's definitely got a couple things that haven't aged well (some fatphobia, some ableism), but all things considered it's not too bad. In my opinion this book holds up and I would still recommend it to anyone interested in the series, with the caveat that it's aimed at middle school kids. We'll see if I still feel that way by the end of the fifth book but my hopes are high!

This is the first time I'm reading this series.
 That being said, I thought this book was really good but the first 50% was super slow for me. I think part of that is I saw the movie & the first half is pretty similar to the movie so I'm blaming that for it. The second half of this book was so good. It was funny, it was well written & I absolutely loved the characters (Grover is my fave I won't even lie). I look forward to reading the second book!

I really enjoyed this book. The plot was good, the characters were adorable, the writing was enjoyable, and the monsters were good.
