Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The story has plenty of funny lines. E.g. Ugalik calls Golly "trollish" and he asks if that's a flattering terms up north, and Ugalik answers, "Not really, no."
Con: The political message is heavy-handed and annoying even when you agree with most of it.
