Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas by Chuck Klosterman

1.0

So I thought Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs was great, right? One of the facets of it that I enjoyed most was the exploration of popular culture icons that I am familiar with but don't know a whole lot about. As a result I thought IV, a collection that includes actual interviews with many musical artists and actors as well as the uncut articles they accompanied, would be right up my alley.
And it probably would have been, if I didn't suddenly hate Klosterman's writing. His vocabulary in this was grating: the same four, infrequently used words appeared over and over again. And I noticed each time. His articles varied very little in the way they were constructed and written.
Maybe his writing just matured after he left Spin, but getting through this was torture.
