I hated every character in this book. It felt like NIMBYism taken to the extremes.

But the book is very well written. It is entertaining to read even as I got sick of listening to Seldom and Heyduke opine.

It feels very 1970's in the same way that Tom Robbins does, with the writer at times intecting his personality into the narration without talking directly to the reader.
