Do no be fooled by this title – this book sucks. It is not fun to read, it’s not very
interesting and it is a swamp and a half to get through. However, it’s an easy read, so if you need
something to add to your checklist, why not.
But again, this book sucks. The
author has gotten high reviews from people from his previous – I don’t know,
I’ve not read it.
So this book – oh where to begin – is a conglomerate of
stories. There is a theme: narcissism of
the author. It doesn’t make for a good
theme, or a good read, which is why I think I’m so annoyed with this book. I like the idea of the book, short stories
coming together, but it’s just so BORING.
The stories are all droll and dry, and one or two of them were sort of
related, but it was like the background character’s aunt’s cousin’s uncle’s
sister-in-law---not quite that complicated, but you know what I mean.
There were a couple of interesting stories/chapters, but
there were two out of the whole book that I actually enjoyed. I don’t know why this book is famous, or why
the author has so much credit – it’s probably roll over from the last
book. I just don’t know what else to say
about this – sorry. Well, I guess the
actual writing was good; clear, concise, ya know, good structure, etc. But yeah, I don’t recommend this book so
avoid it if possible.
Cheers!
