I really didn't care for this at all. It really was bizarre and it didn't really feel very fun. It seemed to want to teach a lesson on the evils of media (tv specifically) I guess I don't really read scfi or fiction for big over arching lessons. I read it for fun.  I was really hoping it would get good. Sadly for me it never did. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. But this is just one guys opinion. Your mileage may very!
