I was once an Art school student and maybe the book would have "spoken" to me at that point, but I was also in high school and a self-indulgent little brat.(less) "

I went in honestly expecting to like this-- I was incredibly optimistic. The optimism began to wane several dozen pages in, and finally I only finished it out of determination to WIN over this piece of crap. And once I WON, I threw it across the room in frustration.

If this book had a face I would punch it.(less) "

Imagine this, boring suburban kid drives around and has musings and thoughts that are as equally engaging. Add some dolphins and maybe a bear. The dolphins are homicidal. The bear is depressed. There might be aliens at the end. The president. It sounds good in the abstract but the execution is lacking. The writing is not engaging. Also, I saw Tao Lin read at The New Yipes in Oakland. I ate one of his grapes when he wasn't looking. I talked to him and told him I liked his blog and his book of poetry. I did like his book of poetry. That was before I had read this book or Bed (which is much better). His fiction is not very good. Tao Lin would probably argue with that and say that I am using an abstraction and using abstractions is contributing to pain and suffering. That's true. Tao Lin's fiction also contributes to pain and suffering, namely, mine. (less) "
