Interesting nihilistic satire. What I thought was most striking was the look into this very sick and broken mind. I found his slow internal realisation that he's not alone in his body very compelling, and the kind of suffocating sense of being trapped in his mind, his life, his cult was pretty creepy and enjoyable. 

Moreover there is criticism of an individualistic and cold world that does not reach out a helping hand and where you have to seek unconventional self medication. Etc, I don't really care though I try to appreciate it. Mostly I thought the writing was brilliant and smart. 

Powerful book worth reading if not for its cultural value, then for the mind boggling and clever and fun storytelling.
