★☆☆☆☆
The most self righteous/pretentious thing I've read
Was recommended this book, and was so disappointed. I hated every moment of it, wishing for it to end. But I still finished it.
The best part is the narrative on the road with his son, the rest of the book, and 'philosophy' is rubbish. Pseudo intellectuals will love this book. Hipsters trying to be relevant will relish in it's self righteous nonsense.
I didn't care for anything he was trying to 'discover', nor did I think it mattered. Really was just one giant wank fest for the writer.
I haven't been this disappointed in a book in a long time.
