This book is a current reprint of a 1984 release. I wish when they did these reprints that an editor would give the book a quick read for references so far out of date that it is jarring to the story. In this case it is reference to an hourly wage being offered - $5/hr. In today's times that is downright offensive. A few chapters after I read that, I went and checked the copyright so I realized that amount was when minimum wage was $3.35/hr (yes I looked it up). It would have been such an easy thing to fix but it just distracted me from the story. Perhaps that was bound to happen, it wasn't the most engaging story I've ever read. Cute way to kill time but not a keeper.
