OK, I have to start off saying that I don’t think this book was really for me. I should have DNF’ed it when I realized this, but I was already far enough in that. I just decided to power through it. I also have to say that I have never listened to the accompanying podcast, but had heard from others that it was good and so decided to jump right into the book. There were aspects of it that I enjoyed, especially the little tidbits that were social commentaries or in their strange ways related to real life. However, on the whole, this book was just too weird for me. I got to a point where I just didn’t see what the point was and that was when I should have stopped. I’m sure this is exactly what some people want and I’m glad that they enjoy it, but it really wasn’t for me.
