    Quinn has one character that's nothing but a Socratic questioner of truth and another character that is an I-shit-you-not talking gorilla.
LOL. I read this book when I was in High School. I enjoyed at the time. I don't recall much of it... except the talking Gorilla. Years later I remember someone recommending it to me again because the bass player from Pearl Jam said it was his favorite book.

Chiming in to say this was also something I read in high school.

You couldn't pay me to go back in time and listen to 30 rich white kids in a temperature controlled classroom talk, with full bellies and sterling health, about how much they wanted to hunt and gather.
