The main character was too dull and unlikeable; everything happened to him, very little happened because of him. The roommate was a great character whereas the love interest was annoying, but I could accept that. There were some great moments of prose and I didn't mind the world religions class.
Same reader and audiobook style as An Abundance of Katherines, and thus the same complaints: tracks were typically under a minute, the musical ‘outros' (the ending of the CDs) were very cheesy and often dissonant with the content of the story, and the repeated tracks were annoying.
