It was extremely unfair for this book to come out right before the last days of passover and then have one Friday before it's Shabbat again. Did I try to finish it before Shabbat anyway? Yes of course, it's called hubris.

I have absolutely no idea how to describe what this book is doing. Hall is always at his most "trenchant observations about the nature of humanity" when he's at his most absurd and this book is no exception. Everyone is ridiculous and that's why it works because people are ridiculous and Hall loves that about us.
