I really enjoyed this book. The author is very good at provoking thought while being humorous. Most of the pop culture was relatable to me. I highly recommend this book.

If you enjoy pop culture, thoughtful commentary on social behavior, and the a witty author that can uniquely link the two, then you'll enjoy this book. Fun quick read.

Klosterman for president. Loved the book loved his crazy ability to connect pop culture to collective societal conciousness that may only exist to Chuck himself. Nevertheless, I found myself agreeing with him alot of times or just going with it. The essay that really stuck out to me as literary genious was the missing sock one. Histerical. The 23 questions? Brilliant! It made up for the sports references and defending country music(why I gave it 4 stars and not 5). I heart this guy.

The cover and the title are the only things this book has going for it.
I was not even able to finish this book.
Couldn't get through the first three chapters.
I was hoping for something interesting and funny- but it was mundane and boring- seemed like the author is jaded by what he sees in the world, and it definitely shows on the pages.
There was nothing to the book but mindless pop culture references that went on and on and on- but no real STORY. It felt like I was reading a script to an E! Entertainment episode, but without the corny banter by the co-hosts.
I love pop culture, but I also love a good plot and at least some semblance of a storyline.
Not worth it.

This book was hard to get into and I was listening to it on a long road trip with nothing but this book to entertain me. That should say something. I think i have good taste, but just for the sake of comparison (my favorites to yours) here are some people/shoes i think are awesome: David Sedaris, Mitch Hedberg, South Park, Adult Swim (i.e. Aquateen Hunger force; Lucy, the daughter of satin), dave chappelle, etc.
