Negative Positive
Title: Funnier than the general review implies.
Review: I just had to respond to the main review of this book, which implied that this book was depressing, like talking to some hipster after an all night rave (is there any other kind?). Dude, it's our culture that's depressing, this book has the guts to look at the hideous reality of Gen Ecch and laugh in its face. It takes on TV (Melrose and 90210, in particular), literature (you'll never think seriously about Douglas Coupland again) and "alternative" music with a razor sharp wit and enough condescension to make anyone feel a little more smug about themselves.
Is the review positive or negative?
