I barely got into it, but I was pretty bored and annoyed by it, so I skimmed random parts later on and looked at reviews to see if it gets better. As far as I can tell, this book is great for people who are introverts but feel worried or upset about it, and for extroverts who don't understand or appreciate introversion. If I had read this in high school, I think I would have loved it and it would have had a very big impact on me. But I don't think I need this book, as I'm introverted but I know a lot about introversion already. Also just from the very little I did read, it seems kind of repetitive and oversimplified. I just didn't want to make myself slog through it when I'm already over it so early on. 

I've been reading this book really slowly over the course of the last 10 months, but at this point I need to just DNF it and try it again later. It really is interesting and enjoyable to read, but I just keep reading other things instead. 

This is like a comedy of errors except the narrator is an annoying, sexist old man complaining about "youth these days" and how the state of the world is worse with internet and social media. I think it could be cute and heartfelt if it weren't for the narrator's annoying asides, and the annoying way all the women are clearly ridiculous and babbling while only men are reasonable and logical (except of course this only applies to the men and women above the age of 30. Anyone younger is peak stereotypical teenager/millennial). Instead I'm frustrated with all the people and situations, and I don't find any of the humor funny. It feels like a parody of something deep? Ugh I just. I can't remember that last time I DNFed a book from disliking it, but I just couldn't get through it. 

A lot of it feels like "old man yells at cloud" in the sense that he's just complaining about gluten free bread and writing caricatures of teenagers who are only ever on social media and who find it offensive to talk about someone's height. It makes me sure I'll never want to read anything by this author. 

DNF'd at 10%. The library book expired but I could check it out again right now; I just have other things I need to read more urgently (I'm in five book clubs haha), and to be honest I wasn't super interested in it. I loved Munroe's book How To?, but this one just wasn't engaging me as much. I might pick it back up when I have more time, but it doesn't look that will happen in the very near future.

The sections I read of this book were amazing and so enlightening; I was assigned certain chapters for a course in college, and didn't go out of my way to read the rest of the book simply because I was very busy. But I would highly recommend this book, as what I did read has stuck with me. (And I should go back and read the whole thing someday.)

I was assigned most of this book for a sociological theory course in college, but I ended up reading very little of it. I would try to read it, and struggle greatly with understanding it. Then my professor would explain it very well during lectures, and I would reread it and understand it just fine. So I stopped reading it and waited for my professor to explain it verbally. Then I would reread specific sections as needed, but I got an A in the class without ever really reading most of this book on my own.
