Negative Positive
Title: Not worth the time
Review: This novel has so much promise at the beginning, with Vladimir's adventures through Manhattan. At first, the story moves quickly and is extremely funny. When the hero goes overseas, it just turns awful. It becomes painful to read. The plot is absurd, the characters (who are hard to keep track of) are pathetic. Shteyngart should've kept the entire story in NYC. He definitely has a lot of talent, but he needs more discipline.
