I think it is one of the greats of Sci-Fi, but certainly not a top 25 book of all-time like some think it is. The sequels in my opinion are mostly lackluster, and plain dogshit when the son starts writing them.

It's simply a comfort book. I first finished reading it at 11 or 12(?) and fell in love with it. I used it countless times throughout school, up to college for easy grades in English classes.

It's easy to read and it makes me happy. That's pretty much it. Whenever I get burned out on reading things I can pick it up and finish it in a day and it reinvigorates my love for reading.

Plus I'm a pretty big fa/tg/uy so I generally try and read something "good" and then will read purely for pleasure, usually some p.o.s. scifi book.
