Extremely easy to read. Almost too easy, in the way that it offered almost no new words for me to study (I'm sure it would be good as a study aid for more intermediate students though)
The author, 星新一 tends to write short stories more than novels, and this can actually read as a collection of short stories, in that the main character travels around to a lot of different places, each of which is completely different to the last and each has its own mini adventure. However, the main character stays the same, and they are all linked, so I found it easier to keep on reading than I sometimes do with a collection of short stories (you don't have to get to know/care about the new main characters with every new bit).

A bit odd, but very interesting. Slightly reminiscent of Gulliver's Travels.
Highly reccommended!

(It gets 4 out of 5 because I prefer my books to be a little bit deeper, and maybe a bit more complicated. However I would very happily read it again.)
