I first read this years ago as a child and have just been rereading it with my kids. Plot wise, I didn’t enjoy this sequel as much as the original. It had its moments but just wasn’t as enjoyable a read. The cultural disrespect and racial insensitivity is still present, though a bit less intense than in the first. ( )
