It was interesting to read this book again after so many years. The book is somewhat dated in its assumptions about future technology [it is set about now, I think] and social mores [like a lot of smoking seems to be happening]. That aside, I was impressed by the core idea, which was to introduce a very alien culture, but without the need to introduce bug-eyed monsters. As Mike is Human, but raised by Martians, he slowly introduces all the novel ideas. Although it is a sci fi book, I think it is really a study of Human nature.
