I read so many great things about this book, then decided to pick it up, and found out how tastes can differ so wildly. I must confess that the book succeeded in making me laugh, several times, but it was such a bore that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. If you are a fan of jokes and humour, you'll probably like this book. But if you are of the serious type, or looking for meaning and purpose; there's none to be had here. So don't waste your time because of what other people say. There's no point in forcing yourself to enjoy something that other people have enjoyed, but, in truth, you don't.
