Ha! The best post all day. I disagree, though. Mostly shit.

seriously, I cannot believe how unfunny and phony this fucking book is... it's weird how opposite it is to everything i read about it! is everyone taking crazy pills!?!?

does no-one here read any more?

To be fair, Fritz, I have no idea what is being referred to. Who's the author? Or should I just Google away? ;-)

It's the Booker prize-winner.

Fritz, there is an (affiliated) I Love Books site where you might get a better response. God knows how this book won the Booker Prize. Aside from the episode in Mexico which had some pace, the rest of it was bollock achingly shite.

seven months pass...

probably the worst book i have ever finished - unbearably awful from first to last. I kept reading in disbelief at the disparity between the praise on the jacket and the utter shite i was reading. It's staggeringly unfunny but nauseatingly pleased with just how "comic' it is. utterly shocking.
