It was a different experience reading the book many years later as an adult. There were more subtle themes reflecting on poverty and excess as well as capitalism and intellectual property. Some of the children’s vices seem a bit less offensive these days, though some do not. All in all, a fun book that has some morals in there as well (for both children and adults).
