A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

Wow, is this polarizing or what? lol.
Well, he warns you right from the beginning how full of shit he is (except with fancier vocabulary) so I don't really see the reason for the complaints. With that said, though, I can understand why someone wouldn't like the book.
Did I think it was all beautiful and deep with profound truths?
Uh... Nay.
But it definitely had its moments, mixed in with his self-important monologues and his ramblings. Even those I found mostly entertaining, though a little annoying after a while.
But then again, that was sort of the point, I think. Because some of it is real but some of it is a facade that's finally breaking at the end.
And I don't care who you are, if you wrote about yourself in this style for that many pages I would be fed up with you.
This is a book that I both loved and hated, and I recommend reading the quotes first to see how he writes, and checking out the contrasting reviews. If none of that scares you, you should go for it.
