Just finished the first one, not sure if I'll continue though. It seems kind of dated in a way that belies how recently it was written, maybe given some time it'll develop a warmer recollection for me.
Interesting! In what way dated? Agreed that the writing style in some sections is very "snappy 80s cool guy" but luckily not too much. Also, it isn't far off 40 years old...
I'm pretty far off 40 years old...
I guess dated in the casual racism and misogyny, not in your face all the time, but it's there. I would cut him more slack if it was written maybe 20 years earlier? I don't know.
