Title: Adolescent whining
Product review: Boring, pretentious drivel. It's heartbreaking to think people are actually taken in by this. Does this guy actually think he's clever? It's all so familiar to anyone who's been living in the US for the last 20 or so years. The literary gimmicks are obvious. The author seems to know on some level how weak the book is, and tries to finesse it by admitting its weaknesses, thinking that's very witty in a post-modern way. I managed to get through the interview about halfway through and decided to cut my losses. I know I missed out on the big emotional pay-offs in the second half, but I just couldn't take the punishment any more. There is some good material in there, but he just doesn't know what to do with it.
