this is difficult to rate because it deserves 1 star based on its merit, but it's so funny (his whole not having read the book, his hatred for details, his self-proclaimed expertise in lighting) that I wanted to give it a 5...
ISMFOF is just another shit band that pretends there's something deeper to it by naming a song after David Foster Wallace's book. Like other crappy bands that try to pay homage to writers like Faulkner. As I Lay Dying and The Sound and The Fury are shit bands and I think Faulkner would be depressed to know they exist.
As far as this book review, it's very narrow and small-minded. Finish the book, then criticize it.
How long did it take you to paint your wall "deefus" green just like on the H&G channel? Do you go to Pier One a lot? DFW was a hack who thought he was getting paid by the word.
You are a moron. 14 pages? They are short stories you jackass - which, are actually easier for morons like you to read for the fact that they are shorter than books. Good luck Tony, I hope you enjoy the Twilight series.
You're a very nice person i can see. Everyone in your life must love being around you, and asking your opinions on things. You realize not everyone is perfect like you right? I'd rather Be a moron than an asshole.
I love that you say "each chapter is a different story." Ummm...they are not chapters. It is not a novel. It is a book of short stories. Have you never read a book of short stories before?
If you thought this was too dense, Oblivion would make you weep that you weren't intelligent enough to understand anything in the world.
Your warning that you've been reading the book for 2-3 weeks and you've only made it to page 14, sets up the complete nonsense you spew. do your brain a favor and stop straining it will all those "words"...
This video was a waste of my time. He only read up to page 14. Why would anyone attempt to give a critique of a book after reading only 14 pages? I agree with mormor39.
Why would you expect a collection of short stories to read like a novel? Why would you film this review, for the world to see, when clearly you have no concept of who the writer is or even what the book is about (as you haven't even read all of it)? Why would you decide to read a book by David Foster Wallace in the first place? Alistair MacLean seems more your speed.
Tony, DFW is difficult to grasp, indeed he is an enigma wrapped in a paradox, but if you read his stuff you will begin to get the jist of what he is trying to convey. Like that first chapter you read about the guy sitting by the pool, titled "Death Is Not The End" do you see how DFW satirizes and mocks this person with cunning wit? Mocking such social inequities as materialism, fame,fortune, arrogance, consumerism, narcissism and benevolence? Read deeper and will see the genius behind the words.
Hey, I haven't read the book but I think if you're not interested by now you should move on! Reading (as you know I'm sure) can be so much fun and it becomes not so fun when you force yourself to read things that don't interest you. Its summer! Read something you know you'll enjoy!
thanks for the response. Actually I've gotten past the sad stage and the book has gotten a lot better. Since it's composed of a bunch of stories sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It's a gamble. -Tony
this is so fucking stupid it practically drools.
its a book of short stories. each chapter is supposed to be a different story, because thats what the book is. its a collection of short stories.

You are a moron. How can you review a book when you are only 14 pages into it?
Oh, and FYI, it's a collection of short stories, they're not "chapters". You wouldn't know good writing if it kicked you up the ass. Idiot!
