Re-reading this on audio about 38 years later. :)
I really thought that I wouldn't like this. That it would be dated and terrible. I was totally wrong. I loved it! The audio version was kind of strange because it had constant ambient sound/music in the background, but I didn't hate that.
I'm sure there was some nostalgia that made me enjoy this more than I would have it I had no connection with it, but still it was a cool story and I'm a fan of "purple prose" so it still worked for me after all this time.
Also listening to it on audio blew my mind with some of the pronunciations.
