White guy travels the world to find himself. 

maybe a bit too many characters at times but quite enjoyable

I've read this book at least 10 times since college, and it's always a good reminder when things go wrong that at least I have both of my buttocks.
adventurous funny fast-paced

a little too direct - a little too "once upon a time"

But great point. Definitely great point.
adventurous challenging dark

not an enjoyable book by any stretch of the imagination but one im glad to have read.
basically a 'satirical' deluge on why Voltaire's contemporary philosophy is wrong.
some awful things happen in this book. constantly.
but i do think it highlights the pain and suffering in the world. and how perhaps, despite it all there is some hope.
