This book isn't great. There's not really much conflict, all the challenges get overcome nearly instantly, and the characters are fairly boring. The only reason I give it 2 stars instead of 1 is it has a lot of whales.
Fun book with whimsical illustrations. Unfortunately the science is quite dated at this point, but it can still stimulate you to learn more in those fields of interest.
It seems like this book hasn't aged as well as some of Steinbeck's others. I found it hard to relate to a lot of the cultural issues that were discussed.
I liked this one the least of the (currently) 4 books in the series, mainly because the first 1/2 felt like it dragged on quite a lot and I didn't love the arc of having Osaron show up at the beginning then basically do nothing for a while as the main characters set up their plan to defeat it. But overall it's still really good, with exciting action and interesting characters (Holland being the best).
