I really liked this book and the way it was written, and it could have easily been a 5 star read but - and I respect that it probably matched the way of thinking for the era in which it was set - there was a lot of outdated language. For me as someone who grew up while it was already an outdated way of thinking it was a little cringy. Otherwise the stories were excellent and engaging, so I'd still recommend it... but maybe with a pinch of salt.
