I'm reading about 40 pages a day, it's such a struggle. How did this shit ever get published? The prose is annoying, with too much dialogue, it's too choppy, sometimes a big word is unnecessarily used, plus too many adverbs. As for content, I sort of like the comic and Jewish stuff, but the escapism parts are dull. Plus, the two eponymous characters are Gary Stus.

Does this get any better?

personally, i enjoyed the prose, not in large doses, but spread out...but beyond that, i feel you, OP. that book just rambles on and on. it is a labour to finish.
