Oh the Glory of It All by Sean Wilsey

2.0

I was interested in reading this book because the bulk of it is set in SF, and since I am from the bay I love reading about it. The backdrop of the story did not disappoint, but unfortunately, the book was 1-200 pages too long. It dragged in a major way, especially the details about the author's time spent in several different schools. Also, at one point he uses a passage from the book Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami to help describe one of the schools he goes to, and the passage goes on for multiple pages. I have never seen such a long passage from another book used in this way; it felt incredibly lazy. If you care about the real people he is talking about from SF's "high society," then you will be happy to read this book for the gossip, but in general the book was not worth the amount of time I put into.
