Boring, misogynistic, endless rants. It’s really slow with not a lot happening, and not even in a fun way. I usually love unlikeable characters, but this one was annoying and uninteresting.

Pretty darn funny, classic 90’s boy English humour. Easy read at the beach.

the men & women stuff was gross but the art stuff was good imo

This was an interesting book. I'm not sure how I feel about it, other than I enjoyed it. It's not the happiest thing in the world (though, none of the books I've read for my 20th Century Brit-Lit class have been...), but it's good.

I don't usually write these review thingys, but this book is so good I'm breaking the habit of a lifetime. Straight into my top ten favourite books list (or should that be top five?...) ...read it!

This book provided a look into the male mind. Or at least a male mind. I was told by several people how great this book (and the movie) is, but I thought it was just okay. While I liked the main character, Rob's monologues (and dialogues too, for that matter), I found him a very unlikable character in general. He remained so utterly selfish throughout the book. But despite that, it was still worth reading.
