I had high expectations but the book is boring. The writing is sarcastic and captivating, hence the positive score, but the whole book is just a sequence of utterly boring events filled with hopelessness and personal decay that lead nowhere. Rich kids doing drugs and being awful to everyone around them. Every time you pick up the book you feel icky, but you can't stop reading because you feel a disaster is around the corner to break the stagnation. Turns out the book *is* the disaster.

3.5

Il libro è scorrevole, e l'organizzazione dei paragrafi (brevi) ne invoglia la lettura. Tuttavia, non mi ha entusiasmato perché si ripete troppe volte in situazioni identiche con una leggera differenza appena accennata. Anche la noia palpabile , a volte risulta eccessiva nella narrazione e non fa apprezzare altro che passa più in profondità , ma che poi esce prepotentemente nelle ultime 30/40 pagine. I personaggi sono stereotipati e tutti uguali, fotocopie di sé stessi.

A little repetitive at times but overall the themes were really good and it gives you a good idea what life was like in Los Angeles during the 80s
