Yeah, it's a Sci-Fi classic full of adventure and insights into the nature of language. I found the adventure to be so-so and frequently derailed by a crazy universe where the rules seem to be just made up as the author goes along. The insights into the nature of language were either simplistic or ridiculously fantastical.
