Yes. Very good. If you do read it book prepared for a lot of lists of products from the 80s though. I felt tempted to understand wtf he was talking about in those section but don't even try. Reading it straight through enhances the mood of what's trying to be portrayed imo

That's entry-level, though. If you actually know the details, things get funnier and funnier. The outfits he describes in detail would look insane. The bands and songs he picks on are the dumbest lyrics around. It's wonderful. And that's not to mention the coded Dante references and Les Mis.

I felt an emptiness in my chest after finishing the book

It's a fun read, but it isn't a great book. If you're like me, you'll enjoy it a lot while reading it, but you won't really learn anything about life from it. You'll have fun with it, but if you skip it you aren't missing anything.

Yes, but not if you are a brainlet who won't get it.

The entire chapter on Huey Lewis and the News really makes the book.
