Laugh-out-loud funny at parts. The first half of the book is superior to the second, but still a great story; I didn't want to put it down and finished the book in a day. The humor and mockery of books on bestseller lists and their authors is certainly the main draw for this book, but in a way this book is also a tribute to those books, and to literature in general. In many ways this book is hard to explain, but a great read. Highly recommended.

It uses the f-bomb a bit much for my tastes, but overall, I really enjoyed this book and even laughed out loud a few times. Definately recommended!!

Hilarious, laugh-out-loud skewering of the publishing industry (and that's exactly what it's become: an bottom-line obsessed industry cranking out "product"); couldn't put it down!

Hilarious and intelligent - a great combination. Anybody w/ a funny bone & appreciation for literature will love this book.
