YMMV / The Demolished Man

• Hilarious in Hindsight: The joke about jingles being nicknamed "Pepsis" with no one remembering why has only gotten funnier with age.
• Romantic Plot Tumor: The romantic tension with Mary and the tacked-on, very Freudian/Electra-complex "true love" with Barbara, feel awkwardly shoehorned in (especially as the Happily Ever After resolution for the latter relationship is very much out of left field) and at times push Lincoln close to Jerkass territory for a modern reader.
• Villain Protagonist: Lincoln Powell seems to be intended as the hero of the story. Many readers, especially modern ones, think the real protagonist is Ben Reich.
