Review title: The Emperor Has No Clothes
Product review: I pick up on this book when Wallace's editor recently published a book that he had left unfinished. The reviews sounded interesting and made Wallace sound like some one I wanted to read. The book is about addiction. You almost need to be an addict to appreciate it. It digs deep into the 12 step program and occasionally throughout the book has insightful asides (sort of like Meville describing very species of whale). But it is a poor read the story does not flow. I was more than 1/4 of the way thru before it made any sense. And then at the end it just stops, does not tie the stories together in any way.As you can tell from my title I find the hype on this book pretentious. It is a long slogging read find something else.
