I loved Treasure Island, so Kidnapped really disappointed me.

Just finished Slaughterhouse 5.

I was about to ask why you expect anything like Napoleon Dynamite (or Hitchhiker's Guide for that matter) in Salughter House 5, but then I realized you were trolling.

I got that from a synopsis blurb I read online, once, it gave me kind an absurdist feel.

Yeah, well, my thought was: guy expected something avantgarde and mindblowing, and he got something very generic.

But that's a shitty joke/meme/image macro, so think there is something more to it.

Can't really sum up all the messages in the book. Too bad i didn't have room for the modernists, or abraxas

Some people overcame this when creating such images, think it was for Stoner and/or Infinite Jest.

But it's an expected vs got thread. People listening to them for the first time usually expect something mindblowing. And indie is pixies' timeframe's equivalent of avantgarde.
