I enjoyed it. Klosterman gets a bit annoying at times with his nicknames (why does everyone in town have one? Really? And how come some of them get their nicknames as kids and others as adults? What were they called before they were christianed with the nickname?) and all of his early 80s refere...
I am trying to like this book but I just can't get into it. After reading Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs and Fargo Rock City, Eating the Dinosaur just isn't on my radar RIGHT NOW. I'm stuck on a chapter about a basketball player and its a tough read. I will be back to Chuck one day because his books are a...
A little out of date, some really hilarious parts (Jon Cusack, cereal, football), some interesting parts (serial killers, Pam Anderson, Left Behind), and the rest was annoying and boring. Glad I finally read it and might even re-read my favorite bits at some point.
Not sure what to say about this one. I liked it but it was not the same as some of his others. I liked the broader picture he was trying to present but at the same time he never fully recognized those ideas. In the end it is an entertaining read not bad not great.
Downtown Owl is the story of three people who live in a small town called Owl, ND. The story is comprised of a high school student, Mitch "Vanna" who is a QB for a football team and never quite fits in, Julia a young college grad who is now a local history teacher and a widower, Horace who spends hi...
Creo que ser psicóloga fue un factor importante en que me agradara el libro, no porque se trate de la historia de una terapeuta, sino por el tema de observar a otros, tratar de conocerlos y de entender que somos personas distintas dependiendo del contexto en el que nos encontramos.Sin embargo, aunqu...
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto is a collection of essays by Chuck Klosterman. It's also one of the rare books I'm not really sure how to review or even rate.Chuck's essays cover such diverse topics as how the movies and TV are giving people unrealistic expectations about life ...
I love it when an author surprises me. I loved Downtown Owl, and I looked forward to picking up the author's new novel, thinking it would be similar in tone and theme. I'm about 1/3 of the way through The Visible Man, and I'm happily intrigued, absorbed by the characters, and wondering where it wil...
This book started off entertaining, but the rants got real old real fast. It probably doesn't help that I didn't read it until years after everyone else had, and they subsequently treated it like the gospel, quoted it incessantly, and passed Klosterman's views of pop culture topics off as their own ...
