review 1: I liked this book a lot because I recognized myself very often. At the beginning I thought that all those footnotes might be a bit annoying but I got used to them very fast. DFW's sense of humour is amazing and his descriptions never get boring even though he describes things with great detail.The German version contains quite a few mistakes though which is a pity as it is the only flaw in this otherwise great book!
review 2: Extremely clever, but not to a fault; and what else would I come to expect from David Foster Wallace? I can't believe how smart this guy is, and how well he turns it into commentary. This is a must-read long essay for any intellectual that has ever set foot out of his or her house, and in particular those who have been out of the country. ... moreAfter I read this, I found myself asking everyone I know who has been on a cruise if they found some of the same things to be true. I have to read more of his stuff. less
