I wanted to like this but I couldn't stand it. To me it read like a commencement speech. It'd be one thing if it were merely corny, but it feels worse than that, it feels like advertising copy. Like if every one of these paragraphs ended with "Folger's" or "Nabisco" I might like it better.

I feel bad because I have been such a hater lately, and maybe this book is bearing the brunt of things I don't like. But really.... where are the nasty bitches??
