This used to be one of my favorite childhood reads. Upon rereading as an adult, I found it needed a bit more suspension of disbelief, but overall still enjoyed it. Sara is very much a Mary Sue, but is still quite likable. Ram Dass felt like a character with the most potential to be complex and nuanced
