3.0

light and easy read with interesting discussions with the bookclub
unfortunately this was not as deep and profound as we expected it to be... and I really disliked the main character's "novel" insert. Just so unnecessary. BUT credit where credit is due, this is a life changing, mind blowing book for the time it was released. If I read this in '94, it would be my favourite book of all time probably.
