review 1: This book is so emotionally explosive. It furthered my insights into the tradition of the French hating work, which is such a rich tradition and makes for very powerful and interesting literature. I feel that this text offers no final solution to capitalism, that it is more of a romanticism amongst the ruins and it is beautiful in that sense. The phrase "flee all milieus!" really resonated with. I feel that escaping the system is more of a romantic project than dismantling it or attempting to bring it to accountability.
review 2: I thought I would really hate this book. I bought it right after the Greek uprising of December 08, when I wanted something to read while I ate a quick and wanted to avoid the 50 cent charge card fee for purchases under $5. Plus Fire... morestorm had an irresistible sign up showing how Glen Beck had referenced the book on his show. I read a few pages at the time and it just didn't resonate with me. I picked it up again this summer, and while I didn't like it a whole lot, I didn't hate it. And there were even times that I found it pretty interesting and thought provoking, even if it was also kind of annoying. less
