   I read this again after 35 years. It was okay. It didn't charm me as much as it did in high school, but that's just the cynicism of middle age, I think.

     @deane I’ve come to believe that “never meet your heroes” pairs well with “never re-read your middle-to-high-school faves”

     @eaton So this needs to be said: this book is...horny. There's a lot of sexual innuendo and nudity and such (Anthony has been criticized for it, in fact). So, I might be coming to understand why the 15 year-old me was so damn into this series...
