"Some books are weird and fascinating. Other books are weird and cool. Still, some books are fascinating and cool. And weird. This book is too weird to be fascinating or cool. It being weird did not serve any aesthetic rationale nor fulfill any artistic purpose. It was weird for weirdness' sake - but it doesn't even succeed at that. Boredom (even for the totally hip beyond hip, or uber-cool crowd ...and by cool I mean patient lover of books) sets in within seconds of reading the first few lines on the first page, and the reader is cautioned against "Oh I'll keep at it" and giving this rubbish any more of a chance, unless the reader is already mad or supra-nihilistic. Recommended use: Seek a used copy and send to someone you loathe as a present. Yes. Do it. Do it now."
