Infinite Jest

While I am tempted to review this book as overwritten and unjustly uninteresting, which I found it to be, I feel that that would do this book a disservice, a dismissal on shallow grounds which ignores the real injustice in this reading experience, which is basically twofold. The point of this book seems to have been that it is dangerous to shrowd naivety and impulse in an ironic veil of coolness, and constantly demonstrates that by being what it criticises. To understand this I made my way through 1088 pages (including endnotes) of prose and humour which I didn't enjoy. So both the journey and the destination disappointed me. But the real problem I had with this book overall is it's justification and championing of selfish behaviour
