4.5

Ironically the beginning might suggest that some overly-intellectual-try-hard-fic-lit author had to choke on something to account for the pretentious style of the book. However, the literary baby resulting from this particular author-editor intercourse is a witty, devourable satire that fires shots at the publishing industry with precision and finesse. The pointed social critique is both the center of this book and a cherry on top.
