I just got it last weekend, I've only read a few pages so far and it seems fine. Got it for 5 bucks used.

It's the best book ever written, if you can roll with the punches of the non-linear parts at the start

Very good book, the introduction can be rough because they dump a ton of characters and info on you quickly and it's non-linear and actually a pretty easy read

Overrated trash imo

perfectly rated trash by overrated critics who are underrated people.

Definitely not trash. Well worth a read.
I found it more depressing than funny, but people keep telling me I'm wrong.
