It's a waste of time, with the occasional torture and murder scene in between.
In concept, it's not bad, a satirical commentary on American society, but reading through it, I couldn't even be interested in it, just too boring.

It's just boring, then more boring, then more boring, then there's a murder scene, then even more boring, and boring again, then a murder scene, etc The book does not have any ending really, it just cuts off on a boring part, the main character doesn't even get caught for anything, even though he's extremely sloppy
