Title: Fun, but flawed: might work better as a juvenile, but...
Review: I happened to see this on the shelf at the library and the initial premise caught my eye and made me take it home. And the book *is* fun - after all, who wouldn't like dirt-cheap interstellar travel, and the image of a pickup truck as a mini-starship was a blast. The places the protagonist visits are just about all friendly and welcoming, which kind of gave the book a kid's story feeling, something I might recommend to an avid 12-year-old reader. However, the authors distaste, and perhaps even hatred for his own country tainted the book for me beyond repair - in the story, the only real villain is the United States. I don't understand why Oltion feels this way - judging by the number of books and short stories he's published he's doing reasonably well for himself. Maybe its something in the water in Eugene? Bottom line: a fun way to spend an afternoon, but don't give it to anyone young and impressionable.
