Query: I would give it no stars if I could

I am not going to say much about this book except that I hate it in a way that I have never hated a book before. For the life of me I cannot fathom how so many critics think so highly of this author. It is self absorbed, pretentious, un-funny garbage. The book feels like it was written by a teenager after two philosophy classes and about 20 MFA programs who oh so desperately needs to be told he is a genius. Mission accomplished: A talking turd for sure.
