One of my favorite books of all time. Annoying before you realize that it's a satire on the author's past experiences and then it becomes insanely enjoyable.

This book is hard to review and equally hard to rate.  I both liked it and was annoyed by it.  It was slowly paced, but the further I got into the book, the more I wanted to finish it.

1.0

A book about shitty people being shitty, not taking accountability for their actions nor learning anything. I know it’s a ‘’satire’’ but no, it was a pain to get through.

4.0

these bozos had to the be absolute fucking wierdos on campus due to juliens little social experimenting, i couldnt enjoy anything bc everyone made me too mad and i couldnt flow with what was happeneing bc richard was kept out of the loop in an exausting way
Despite the rating im giving it these characters haunt me and i have an infinite amount of questions and i like the book, just not reading it
