Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-11 00:00:00 Eric Berg I was surprised at the start of this book that there seemed to be more focus on the author's friends' stories than his own point of view. Unfortunately, that was quickly recitified and the author took center stage, showing what an obnoxious and annoying person he seems to be. I honestly found the main character so dislikable that I did not finish the entire book. I can't remember the last time I didn't bother finishing a book, no matter how bad it was.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-22 00:00:00 Stephen Calabretta I'm a sucker for road books. On the Road, Travels With Charlie, hey even The Odyssey ' I love 'em. But this one sucks. Maybe I'm missing something ' is this Slacker Culture? To passively schlep through life? The most exciting part of a 60-day road trip is being pulled on a burning sofa for a few minutes? This dude meets all these people and has no insights about them or how they live. He learns nothing. Does he have any passion for life? Any ambition to make somebody's life better? Any interest in, oh I dunno, social justice or something? He's both a bore and a boor who mistreats people, kind of a sociopath who doesn't seem to even realize how he's hurting people. I'm giving it two stars because one star is reserved for books I throw against the wall. This one, I made it to the finish hoping he'd redeem himself and realize what a self-centered asshole he was. He didn't.
