I didn't read that specific book, but in his other he definitely is. Idk there seems to be a subset of people who are against showing any kind of judgement towards other people at all ever.
Some of his judgement towards others might make people uncomfortable. He can be direct with his thoughts and actions that are critical and on the negative side.
I find those thoughts interesting to read though. its just a different perspective on things from one guy.
On Goodreads a lot of reviewers complained that the writer is so grumpy and negative towards the other passengers, but I finished it recently, and I agree it is a tale of a bygone era.
