Title: Metaphorical overkill
Product review: This book was recommended by several friends of mine telling it was fun to read. After having rested on my shelves for quite some time I recently decided to give it a try. Although I read it through within a couple of days I have strong objections to recommend it to others. First of all, I soon started getting annoyed by the narrator's promiscuous use of metaphors and comparisons. There are far too many of them and they often seem to be inappropiate. Even if you consider that Felix has been a slacker student of English literature it feels like polishing a weak story with a 'literary touch'. Additionally, the characters are flat and after the first part it becomes clear that their 'American Dream' project will turn into a worst-case scenario.
