Pretentious, Arrogant, Too-full-of-itself : That's this book for you. 
 I would be honest and tell you that I gave up on it when i was about 70% done. I gave it up literally; to a friend of mine (who's now an enemy so there you go!) 
 I get the concept, "a book about reading a book" but I found the constant back and forth so annoying and distracting that I wasn't able to get a hang of anything at all. Personally, I feel its Goosebumps-by-R.L Stine-but-for-Adults writing device to be off putting and would not want to read anything like this ever again. (Maybe House of Leaves but too early to say.)
