Wry and detailed; I only hated the end. 3.75.

I've heard so much hype around this book. Sadly, it just didn't quite live up to the hype for me. There were parts where I chuckled, but it wasn't one of those books that I just couldn't put down.

A cautionary tale about a proto-Redditor; we can't all have a Myrna looking out for us

its_naman's review

Most insufferable protagonist I've ever come accross and that's saying something..
Whoever declared this 'the funniest book ever' definitely has a questionable sense of humour
