pearloz's review against another edition
The wrong book at the wrong time: this was the 3rd(?) senile and/or slowly going mad narrator I’ve read this year and nah. I made it 150 pages and was gonna push for 200 but was dreading my reading time—a bad sign. DNF.

I wanted to like this book. It has all the elements of a work I like: experimentation, creative license, humor, cultural specificity and universal appeal. I just couldn't ever like the narrator or the people around him, and sometimes that's enough to sour a book for me.
