I figured by the end of this story the author was trying to tell us how amazing non conforming is, but using three scantily clad teen girls who we get no character insight from really was the wrong way to go. Even more frustrating was how quitting his job was written as heroic, while in all honestly he would never "stand up" to a woman of a later age; this stems purely from their bodies and his hyper-sexualisation of them. From Sammy's point of view, the trio was used little more than objects to show how freethinking he was becoming, and I left this thinking how little difference there was between them and can of fancy fish on a shelf. 1 star for the use of setting.

One of those terrible stories about teenagers they made us read in the sixties because they thought it would somehow be relevant. I hated it. ( )
