I read it a few years ago based on a recommendation from a friend upon whom it had a great impact. Although I'd have to pick it up again if you wanted a more thorough review, I will say that I found it contrived and forced. It struck me that the author was trying too hard to be hip and edgy; even the title bothers me. I also found it to have very little depth. I continue to marvel at its impact on people. I think part of the impact may be that one thinks it should have an impact so it does. Does that make sense?
