There was a lot that I didn't enjoy this time, though. I found myself just getting into the story, when boom, misogyny. Then I'd find myself just getting back into the story, when boom, racism. Then I'd find myself just getting into the story, when boom, something utterly non-sensical (like one character saying he prefers to hunt whales with a harpoon, then a page later the same character saying the humans are barbaric for killing the majestic creatures).
I also didn't like all the "I can't say what I want to say because this is a kids book". Just... Write for an older audience if you want to swear?
I did however, appreciate Foaly's humour for the most part.
