I'm calling this a veritable "kitchen sink read" as the author has thrown in every subject under the sun ... football, war, politics, religion, wealth, relationships, and more. I laughed several times when another topic was slipped in ... thinking "Oh, you're going there, too?!"
Witty, sarcastic, insightful, painful, funny, irreverent, poignant ... I was astounded at the range of emotions and the sheer number of ideas in this book. At times it felt combative, which I think was partly the point. Quite possibly a great discussion read.
I see a movie is in production with Ang Lee directing and Steve Martin, Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel among others in it. I will pay to watch this one.
my source: browsing at Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor...need to get back there.
my verdict: excellent read
Good to know! I've had this on my Kindle forever after hearing an interesting NPR talk on it, but somehow I've never gotten around to reading. Move it up the queue...
