I was fortunate in that I read the book at probably the perfect age. I was 13/14 and the book was a pack in with a Mac game I bought at the time. So entirely unlike anything I’d read before.
Even today I don’t mind the meandering world building. He does need help sticking landings though

However, what basically made me put the book down (until my friend INSISTED I try harder) was 'the deliverator'.
I found the 'threat'/climax too absurd to be plausable, but basically pulp sci fi.
