Yeah, this book is crap.

This book was very bad. It is not genius, clever, or even that interesting. The characters are not developed in any real way and the premise and plot situations are sophomoric and trite. This reads like a college student who had just read some philosophy and other literature decided to write a novel based on what he'd just learned. Had Ruff just read Ayn Rand before he wrote this? There's really no excuse for using her as a character in this book. It's unfair to and not even funny.

This book was a waste of time and my whole book group agreed. It just made us angry. I advise you to use your time more wisely to read something worthwhile. I can't believe this got published. Is it possible to give negative stars as a rating?

Gosh, this book sucked!]]>
