I was just reading some of the online reviews for this book and to my surprise there was an overwhelming amount of criticism.

I understand that it is extremely over the top and pretty unrealistic but that really was not the point.

Another thing that bothered many was the writing style, which, I thought was absolute genius. It gave us (Americans) a completely alien vision of our culture and much of human behavior as a whole in a way I did not think was possible in a fiction novel.

Honestly a work of fiction has not made me think this much since I read "brave new world" and "gods debris".

This novel reminded me of my experiences with salvia divinorum.

By the way I have read:
Fight Club
Invisible Monsters
Rant
Dairy

And this novel blew them all out of the water IMO.

Or, to put it another way, I respectfully disagree.

Regardless if it was his best work or not , when it comes to style , he re-invented style , he took english language and chop chop he cut many ways , syntax and grammar. For official record , this so avant-guarde operative me give author of book five clear - yellow stars .

What do you mean he re-invented style? Borat was doing that 4 years ago.
