gripping, funny, psychedelic in an absurd yet tasteful way

reminds me of Cherry but more fun and light-hearted

Over rated, boring, confusing

I recently saw a list of books GenXers should have read/should read now if they never did, and this was one of them. I just realized that Johnson died a few years back and I've never read any of his books. This was great, amazingly written, and also terrible in terms of the sheer human misery dragged into the light.
