It could have been condensed into a third of the length and made the same point. It's redundant and so ludicrous at times that the theme is almost lost. We fucking get it, Heller, bureaucracy is bad; bureaucracy is inefficient. I enjoyed the first 100 pages of the book but after that I just found myself saying "Haha, yeah, I remember when that joke was made back in chapter 3 or 4" and waiting for it to end or advance somehow. The latter of which never happened until the last 2 or 3 chapters, IIRC.

Overall, good beginning, decent end, shit middle

>>8341195
Yeah, and then you realize the whole book has been horrifyingly depressing but you were laughing the entire time because you didn't fully understand what was going on

>>8341379
It's ok. I feel like this is just one of those books that doesn't do well outside of it's original medium though

>>	Anonymous Sun Jul 31 04:41:51 2016 No.8341919 70% in now, the first 100 pages were tough to get through very ADD, it's hilarious though which kept me reading, good old dark/dry humor

Pretty decent book, gets a lot of shit for its meme status with the plebs, but it's a hell of a lot better than most of the drek floating around in normie bookshelves. has the potential to open the doorway to something more for people who weren't necessarily able to into real lit.
