Sci-Fi Emo?I did enjoy the read though.
ephemerally loquaciousI did enjoy the book, that is to say I read it, absorbed it, derived some amount of joy from it, visually garnered it's long-winded, excessive, repetitive language into my being as I imagine the author, originator, creator intended.
My two? "Kaufman / Adams" (...as in Charlie and Douglas).

Too Expensive.It's available in hardback only and the Nook edition is $14.40. If B&N brings the ebook down to $9.99, I will probably get it. I do know I can get it from Sony for $9.99, but I prefer not to sideload.
9.99 would still be too much.My two words Fast Read.
Sleep Aid.Daddy Issues.
Human Condition.
My full review will be coming this evening unless I fall asleep before I write it. It'll be on my GR page for the book/my progress on it.
Absurdly Comical! (very good)
Library Checkout.(I get mine via ILL tomorrow)
Sad Failure.(There were so many things that could have been done, so many things that were hinted at that weren't paid off.)
Engagingly funny
Too strange (as in Memoirs found in a bathtub)
Occassionally brilliantMind f***

Haha, I thought Daddy Issues before you said it, really the book is more about that than time travel.
Christmas Present.My daughter found this in the bookstore and said it looked perfect for me, so it was under my tree Christmas morning.
Who Cares.I found the characters to be less than engaging.

Therapy session.McSweeney's reject.
LiveJournal instead.

Then is 'Douglas/Coupland hash-up' two or three words?

I laughed far too hard and far too long at this

Another reference to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Self-consciously literary.I bet the phrase "science fiction for people who don't like science fiction" has been used in more than one review of this book.
Here's my two word review: nonsense mishmash
