I read this one mainly because of how inspirational it has been for a lot of fantasy writers. Overall it had some good, funny moments, but was very of it's time - several instances of WWII era casual racism/sexism.

I read this a long time ago and forgot that the asides by the narrator are randomly sexist in a way that doesn’t contribute to the narrative and unpleasantly distracts from the main story.
