review 1: Plodding narrative, goes nowhere slowly. This happened, then this happened, then I met this guy... The narrator uses irritating self-developed jargon all the time. He wakes up with a hangover often and there are pages of metaphors describing this. I nearly gave up on this 2010 effort (though I find goodreads stops me doing that) but Pierre has some great insights into society and humanity. He really needed a good editor though. I would've edited out the 'story', the characters and kept the 30 pages or so of insights.
review 2: Drug-fueled coming of age story. As much as I did not like Vernon God Little, I loved this book. Right up till the last two or so chapters I was planning on giving this book 5 stars, but the end was not as great as I'd hoped. The best thi... moreng about this book are the incredibly vivid scenes of (general) debauchery, and especially those involving drugs very persuasively inspire some very bad life choices. All the faux-lisophical musings that typically accompany adolescence are included in this book, and made tolerable to those who deem themselves past it by their elegant wording. less
