This was quite good actually. Very quotable and something a book club could really get into, the author seems to explore almost random messages of consumerism, selfishness and ennui until he decides to end us all in a massive apocalyptic cacophony. So many messages, or maybe only one, but the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll were fun.
For the next indie read, I'm pulling out the big guns. I'm finally getting ready to read the
Shift omnibus by Hugh Howey. He's one of the few authors that I can still treat as indie even though he has big book deals with major publishers. He's one of the vanguard, the pioneers of a new publishing age. Or he's just a guy who got pretty lucky. Either way, I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into this one.
