From back of book: "The funniest novel I've read in years."
No? Two people making fun of the how slovenly and obese each other are isn't really qualifying as comedy. I have no one to even extend empathy toward since everyone is portrayed as a narcissistic (read: holier-than-thou), morally vacant piece-of-shit. Even the PKD references (that I've caught) have failed to save the humor in this. OH FEKKIN WELL

Still not funny, but also not alarmingly mindless. Just mild? Ugh, continuing on I guess.

I really can't find an excuse to read this for more than 10 pages at a time. It's boring, but it's picking up. The metafiction aspect is coming into play: the world is a tongue-in-cheek parallel universe that is almost exactly like our own, except that we (the readers) are in a parallel universe that the subject of the book (an author) created. If this turns into a goddam murder mystery, I'll kms.
