I didn't really like any of the characters in this book. They were a group of very selfish and whiny rich people. All the feelings and all the angst. I was really hoping at the end the main character would game some perspective to all he had going for him and well he didn't.

This is a dark comedy. I picked it up because Jason Bateman is in the movie version. I can see him in the lead role. It is a bit crude, but I enjoyed it. Comical and a bit depressing yet hopeful.

Meh. Ending was weak. Many likably dysfunctional characters.

funny, but a little tough to read so soon after a death

LOVED this. Reminds me of my family during the grieving process. Lol'd at Judd and Phillip.

Just not in the mood for the self pity and emotional turmoil. Maybe I'll pick it up again one day.
