Negative Positive
Title: Should've known better....
Review: After reading a review in a Columbus Paper, I decided to go read the book,only to find that the review had been more entertaining than the book. The book reads like Dave Eggers on Mountain Dew, who sounds like David Foster Wallace writing about personal things in a postmodern fashion, which robs those said things of any nobility, and crowns them with a commercial vitality.The commercialization of the death of loved ones, and Other Forms of Personal Misery made Public, seem to be staples at McSweeneys Press. I have learned this, and now, for enjoyment I shall run into brick walls instead of buying into the hype.
Is the review positive or negative?
