I have read it, some years ago. I found it pretty enjoyable. It is 
slightly 'easier reading' than most Wolfe, because a lot of the 
puzzling elements are explained in the text rather than being left 
for decades of further online debate.

A lot of people seem to read it as a right-wing parable, warning 
against the dangers of redistribution. Not sure about that myself; it 
seems to me to be more about mistaken perceptions and the 
disappointing realizations of leaving childhood.

best,

Mo
