I like my character building well blended into my plot, and I've always read for a strong emotional investment, and it wasn't just a lack of emotional portrayals, it was portrayals that didn't make much sense. Why that emotion there, instead of this very different one? I found myself with no emotional investment at all except frustration. At eight, I might have liked it much more, because eight year olds, raised in a healthy happy home, using the main character as a proxy for themselves, wouldn't realize how happy-go-lucky and unafraid Conn's attitude really is for his position. And since it's targeted there, that's no bad thing.
