review 1: I had to stop reading, stop caring. What started off as an interesting look into the author's experience with heroine and pharmaceutic industry and his experience as a copywriter / junkie / served time for it whatever became a circus of not finding any redemption but more shock performance that was unbelievable. I liked his point of view on the lies of advertising, but beyond that, I found no hero in this novel and no reason to finish this. Yawwwn!!
review 2: I have to admit, this is an interesting novel, beyond a shadow of a doubt. However, it feels like it's trying a little bit too hard to be absurd/crude at times, so it ends up feeling like a 16 year old boy trying to gross out his friends. That said, it's interesting, and at times it reminded me of Delillo... more's White Noise, which is an impressive absurd novel. Still, it falls a little bit flat, especially at the end. I feel like there were a lot of more interesting themes raised in passing that weren't really addressed. less
