I personally enjoyed this book just enough. I didnt love it.The story is ironic.A family tragedy looked at in a comedic way.
I don't often laugh outloud when reading a book. I did with this book, many times. A few episodes are a bit long - just skim if you ever get bored with a section. Just don't put the book down, because I guarantee another section will come next that will have you rolling on the floor.
Egger's autobiography is the perfect blend of satire, riotous deadpan dialogue, and heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Highly suggested to anyone looking for a rewarding, possibly mind-altering, reading experience.
This was a book club pick and that is the only reason I read it. Truly the worst book I read in years. A 'pity party' by the author. Then again, maybe this is how most twenty somethings view the events in the fabric of their lives and I am just way 'over the hill.'
recommended reading for people from chicago with a brain in their head. l.a people may be offended with the candor.
