This book was given to me to read by a friend that raved about it, but I just found the main character to be mostly annoying. I was told that I am most likely the only person that feels this way, but you like what you like and I just couldn’t work up any kind of sympathy for the character. Maybe the brilliance of the book is that it is such an accurate portrayal of an self-centered idiot… Who knows? I’ve never said I was the last word in book reviews… I have a lot left to learn about life and literature.
