Title: Thumbs TOTALLY down
Review: Unless you are someone who gets twisted gratification out of completely destroying a town, I cannot understand why anyone would 'honestly' like this book. In my opinion the story goes no where and Egolf has to rap it up by overloading his text with unwarranted self-appreciation and importance. I find it hard to believe that reputable publications compare Egolf's style with the likes of Pynchon and Toole. These were brilliant writers - Egolf was not. In fact, do yourself a favor: before buying this load of boring crap, pick up a copy of Toole's Confederacy of Dunces. Or, if you have already read that masterpiece, check out Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. They put Lord of the Barnyard to shame. Insightful readers know.
