Title: Too bad
Review: I don't often make forays into contemporary fiction, because the results are usually pretty disappointing. Home Land was no exception. I really didn't find much about the book to like. I thought the author was trying way too hard. I didn't feel much like laughing at anything, and I especially disliked Miner's snide tirades about how crappy everyone is, no matter how successful they are. I feel like this is one of those books that young, hip people like to read with the cover showing in coffee shops, laughing at the top of their lungs so that everyone will know how witty and with-it they are. This is not literature - it's just one big depressing cliche. Even if that was what Lipsyte was going for, it's still not worth reading.
