maedo 's review for:

Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine

3.0

---

Full of elements I typically love - an abhorrent main character, literary obsession, deadpan snarkiness, oblivious narcissism - but it overshoots the quirkiness quite a bit at the end. If I hadn't also read The Disaster Artist in 2018, this would be the funniest book I'll read all year. The thing is that Tommy Wiseau is real, whereas the narrator of Treasure Island!!! is a well-constructed figment. Interested to see what Sara Levine writes next.
