While the descriptions of all the stuff the characters own are in some sense as accurate a caricature as that found in American Psycho, and while it was funny to read this book while also reading Hedges' screed on the vapidity of current celebrity, success-obsessed culture, in the end I felt worse off after I’d read it. Hedges isn't wrong about everything.

Wow. Now I don't have to add the PLL books to my to-read list!

May have to look at that Rakoff collection though. I love your book review posts :)
