The Hawkline Monster Part 2

"It was very apparent that Cameron was not going to be converted to the geniality of tea drinking. It was, as you might say, not his cup of tea."

The odd humor in this sentence is striking, and made me recognize other bits of humor in the novel a little more than I did before. It continues onto the next page- "guiding him to his eternal resting place, a whole in the ground." These little bits aren't by any means laugh out loud funny, but I feel like they have a nice, understated quality that gives the novel sarcastic, humorous undertones. It helps add to the unique style of the novel.
