This story really brought me back to the angst of my college days. I enjoyed the self effacing humor of the narrator and his journey to discover his fate, alongside a cast of endearingly ridiculous & self-absorbed characters.

A totally unique read for me. I really didn't like many of the characters, but i thought the story was original and interesting. I'd like to explore more from this author!

This started off as a bumpy ride for me - I had guessed that the protagonist was meant to be annoying in some ways and that I should find it humorous, but it took me a while to get there. But my esteem only rose and rose until I loved it in the end. It got ever stranger while remaining nostalgic and made me love characters I wouldn't have thought I would.
