"Refreshingly Unique" "Great Payoff!" "A Must Read!"
Autopilot is a fast-paced, thought-provoking novel with twists at every turn.
This book was an insult to Jimi Hendrix, who (to the best of my knowledge) was not a sniveling, self-centered tool.
The one bit I could relate to:
"There was a moment in my twenties when I realized I was too old to go to concerts anymore. A band that I'd discovered in college was playing at the House of Blues - an all ages show. I soon found out that all of their fans were 15 or 16.
I worked my way up to the front of the stage, like I had always done before. It was easy to elbow my way past these acne-scarred, awkward teens. And then the opening acts started. By the time the main band took the stage I was winded. I was dehydrated. Don't teenagers need water too?
It was the first time I felt too old for something."
It started off pretty well. The main character is a douchebag but you can overlook that with the promise of a decent story. Then the author totally blows it in the end. I'm still not sure that I understand what the hell happened. I do, however, know that I did not like it. Won't be recommending this to anyone else and I probably won't read anything more this man might have out now or in the future.
I'm a big Chuck Palahniuk and Christopher Moore fan. The offbeat story and creatively hysterical writing kept me intrigued til the last minute. From the snarky fights the leading man shares with his wife, to his silly, slacker best friend I just wanted to know where this was heading. I enjoyed all the trips into another person's dreams, which weren't boring to hear, despite how one feels about only being interested in their own. I couldn't wait to see where the next lucid dream would end up.
