review 1: Despite the fact that the book offers many interesting ideas to think about I have to say that after reading it I understood mainly two things:1) Zizek's style of writting is extremely chaotic: it reminds me of a crazy "bricolage" where many small and different pieces are assmbled together. Unfortunately, I believe, that in some parts of the book only author knows what is the materia which make them hold together, and so, they seem to be assembled rather randomly (which they are not, the bottom line was, that it is very hard to follow Zizeks unrestrained flow of thoughts).2) Gosh, what was the second thing I wanted to say ;)?
review 2: I was reading this on and off while making my way through Delilo's White Noise, and in the wake of that book it's only been har... moreder to work through Zizek's brand of intellectualism. He's a nice bibliographic reference point, but otherwise his prose reads like an argument with a distracted straw man. I was almost sold on the Kung Fu Panda discussion, but he didn't give it enough space for consideration. Bounced around with other half-page nuggets of near-insight here and there, but it totally lost my interest at the social matrix section, describing the fetishistic public vs cynics. Probably won't come back to this. less
