This may turn some readers off, but I remain thoroughly entertained and invested in the world. I felt that the world-building was excellent, and the world really felt lived in.

The book was written in 1977 so I tried to just realize this was a different time. His awful behavior did help cement a certain tone that just worked for this story. He was overwrought with emotion due to circumstances in the book and his immaturity and lack of awareness made everything very real. I can see why this won the Hugo
