An interesting read. Perhaps not as shocking today as it was when first published but it still paints some awful imagery. I appreciated Kosinski's use of metaphor. It's a breezy read you can feel cool about having read. There, I said it.

Finishing this book just before going to bed was one of my stupider ideas. While the book isn't autobiographical it still feels very real: bleak, brutal, depressing.
Recommended for: those feeling overly optimistic about humanity in both senses of the word.
