Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read a lot of the reviews here before deciding to buy this book to read on my new Kindle 2. There were some bad ones, but also some 5-star reviews so I figured, hey, it's only a few bucks, why not? This book was awful. The only thing that kept me reading it was comic relief and pointing out to my boyfriend how many times I found marketing drivel on a page. The lead character is a 35 year old professor yet says things like "Newfangled cellphones". Uh, what? Numerous times throughout the book the professor is told to "Just read books on the computer like everyone else" as if he is way behind the times for reading paperbacks. King also goes into lengthy detail describing Amazon's super-fast shipping when the professor ordered his kindle, how awesome all the Kindle features were, the "smiley" in the Amazon logo, the long battery life, and on and on and on. You cannot get through more than 2-3 paragraphs without feeling like you're reading an infomercial for Amazon. The plot is ridiculous as well. It revolves around a magical Kindle that can access books from different versions of our reality (e.g. it finds an extra book written by Poe) and eventually, in the "Experimental" section is also finds articles about the future, a week in advance. The only reason I'd suggest buying this book would be to make a drinking game out of every time King uses the word "Kindle" or "Amazon". Bottoms up!
