I think GQ's line really said it best: "sometimes exasperating but almost always engaging."
Occasionally, it's difficult to get past Klosterman's ego to what he's actually trying to communicate. But when you can, he's got some interesting things to say and they're the kind you want to share. While reading this, I often found myself reading parts of it out loud to anyone who would listen, sparking plenty of debate and arguments. I figure if that's the best I can get out of the novel, then that's pretty darn good.
