It's, erm.. definitely a product of its time. I enjoyed it, and I think I probably still would, it's just..... you really have to turn your social justice brain off for this one, in some parts, I think.

Child me barely got 50 pages into this book, and dropped it because it was boring. I gave it another try, and child me was absolutely right. Very boring, but also pretty racist
