5.0 out of 5 stars 389 pages of Inspired, laugh out loud greatness., 13 Mar 2004
By Alexandra Valenti (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If I could eat this book I would, it's that good. Lewis Miner (Homeland's hero) is one of the great literary characters to come along in quite some time.

If you've ever been to high school, you will need to read this book. If you've ever been in love, you will need to read this book. If you've ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, not taken seriously, you need to read this book, because no matter how bad it was, Lewis has had it worse.

I started to mark all the great lines in this book and stopped when I realized that nearly every line was underlined... I've even read some passages to a stranger on a flight to California after they asked me why I was laughing so hard. We bonded and I think I've changed his life for good after writing down the name Sam Lipsyte on an American Airlines napkin. Unless you are lucky enough to be sitting next to me on the next flight, where I will be reading the book for a second helping, do yourself a favor and order it now.

5.0 out of 5 stars everybody sucks, 22 May 2004
By A Customer
This book is about you. It's about your lack of self-knowledge and about how much of a hypocrite you are. It's about how you're always lying to yourself and about how much you suck and how there's not really anything you can do to not suck so you'd better just get used to it. You love it. And that's why you'll love this book.

This is funny. Nobody does this. You think that turdy, little David Sedaris is funny? Cheeky at times, maybe, but who needs cheeky when there's a war on? Lipsyte brings tears again and again, and believe me, you need a good cry.

It's time to suffer, people, you're overripe. Give it up to Sam Lipsyte. Give in. Put down your bestsellers and your book club selections. Stop watching so much television. Stop playing it safe. You are Sam Lipsyte's dog and you're misbehaving. It's time for a swift kick.
