I literally have no idea how to rate this book. Does that make it a good book or a bad book? I'll give it a 4 for thoroughly confusing me and making me rub two brain cells together. That's a good thing.

Anyway, I'm definitely not the right audience for postmodern satire. I think I'm too literal a person. I didn't dislike the book at all. Just....what was the point? And isn't that exactly the question the book throws at you in 800 different ways? I found the whole thing kind of sad. Hopeless.
