I mean ??? "T'was alright" I guess ? 

Made me think a bit but probably not as much as it's supposed to. I guess reading this in 2024 is very different from reading this in the 1960's.

Was also expecting things to wrap up as kinda wholesome by how most the reviews on here are like, but ngl I did not find it. Feel like it was a good portrayal of "kids live and learn what you teach them"? 

Not sure how half the reviews/blurb thingies that were printed in this read the book as being "funny" though 😶😶
