Wasn't a pleasant book. It was perhaps the longest 82 page book I've ever read. Did have a few thoughts to ponder, though.

No fear can stand up to hunger, no patience can wear it out, disgust simply does not exist where hunger is; and as to superstition, beliefs, and what you may call principles, they are less than chaff in a breeze.
