I thought it was a waste of time. Ham-handed allegory that continues to hammer long after its point is driven home (the main character's banal descriptions of the acts of shaving or the appreciation of the music of Phil Collins juxtaposed with banal descriptions of ultraviolence pointing out how awful yuppies are gets old really fast). Still I managed to finish the whole thing, which is more than I can say for some literature I've picked up.
