Summary: 30minutes wasted
Review: I received this as an xmas pressie and my copy was put straight into my xmas waste bin. From there it went straight to my local Oxfam shop. Would they dare to put it onto their shelves? Mindless dribble from an author who doesnt seem to realise that she is not the writer that she thinks she is. I would like to ask the reviewers who gave this 5 stars "are you the author or do you know her?"

Summary: hmmm.....
Review: I thought the best thing about this book were two lines in it. One of them is, "a pack of cards is the devil's prayerbook." The other one, with much more interesting implications than the rest of the text, is this:"A lie is a blow to the tyranny of fact." With that line in mind, let me emphatically state that this is a good book. You should read it. p.s. how in heck did Xanthe get into that house? And who would really want to be sleeping with chicks they've only known for forty-five minutes, anyway?

Summary: Better than I Expected
Review: I was prepared for this to be another machismo leaking sci-fi thing like all the other books i borrow from my boyfriend, but this was actually good! I read it in one sitting and got all wrapped up in and even came back to order a copy for a friend who's birthday is coming up. It's not boring at all!

Summary: Short and to the point
Review: I'm not Lev Grossman and I liked the book. Actually I liked it a lot. It's sad and elegic and not very funny, but some of the scenes were honestly moving. Another thing was that the book had exactly the right length for what it was about. There's too many writers who fill too many pages with too little content. I'll definitely look out for more books by this guy. The episode with the punk girl sounded more like the author daydreaming though.

Summary: it was bad
Review: Lame, lame, lame. I am a recent college grad living in Boston so I thought I would identify with -- or at least understand the point of view of -- the characters. Instead, I was thoroughly disgusted with them. I kept waiting for the book to get better. It didn't.
Rating:
Summary: I didn't like it
Review: Not only did I not like this book but I resent the fact that I spent time reading it. I strongly suggest that this book remain unread.

Summary: One word: Worthless Tripe
Review: Or maybe that's two words. Whatever. The world doesn't need any more books like this.
