The author has a joke going from start to finish. The trouble is, the joke never changes, the anti-hero narrator never develops as a character, and the reader is left wondering just why he/she should spend good time on material that has nowhere to go and no points to make. Sorry, Gary, better luck next time.

Good one
I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It's a different take on a society that the media and other authors are marching very much in lockstep to criticize. It is a very thoughtful and witty lampooning of our own idiosyncrasies and predilections toward modernity and comfort at the expense of decency and others. Well recommended.
