Fun fact, it was one of the very first book I read as a non English speaker, when I was a teenager. (my parents had grabbed a few second hand books at random, not knowing what it was). I spent a good half of the book going "what the... What the... I mean.. Am I reading what I think I'm reading?" it was absolute confusion for me because I knew I was reading correctly, yet I wasn't sure I was understanding what I was reading.
Left it on a shelf for a few years, and grabbed it again much later. Loved it.
