You'll find around here that most dis SoS, but I love the book and reread nearly every year. I am 51 and read it as a teen and still love it. Rip off or not, I don't care. I like the fact that it tells THAT tale in one easy to read volume and does it in a concise easier to read style.
In my top 10 favorites ever. Give it a go again and I bet you enjoy it.
