Title: Is There A Point to All of This?
Product review: The critics (or at least some of them) find this novel to be brilliant but I disagree. The author devotes 300 pages to the protaganist's quest to feel "real" by wasting a fortune "reenacting" a series of events. We never find out what's wrong with this guy - is it brain damage from his trauamtic injury or is he just a self-absorbed creep who now has the money to indulge himself? His obsession culminates in several deaths, which appear not to bother him in the least. I get the feeling the author wrote this book just because he could, not because he had anything to say. This one is all style and no substance.
