Great book.....some parts were hilarious like the crazy drivers who won't cut you a break and the attitude you get from shopping at organic food stores. But the Alice/ Faye/Charlie Brown segment was too long and stretched my willing suspension of disbelief beyond the limit. I was bored by the lengthy description of gamers, and thought Faye was one of the most self serving characters ever created. Timorous and shy......not a bit. However, I read the entire book and loved most of it. Would recommend to readers who can keep track of a circuitous plot and a plethora of characters who frequently change their name.
