I tried reading this, and disliked it intensely. I decided to give the audio book a shot, and liked it quite a bit. I couldn't read the slang and the stream-of-consciousness, but I could understand it when it was read to me. I have no idea how the readers did it, but the audio book was compelling and made complete sense. It's a dystopian, nearly-end--of-the-world look at capitalism and consumerism to the extreme.

I read this a while back for a teen book award committee and found it stayed with me and bits of it keep coming back at odd moments. It's nominally science fiction, but really more a critique of capitalism and consumer culture.

I think I'm supposed to like this. I like MT Anderson, and it's a dystopic young adult novel, right? I read the first few pages, and couldn't get into it at all. Didn't like to twitter-ish slang tone of the whole thing. Maybe another time I'll actually read it.
