If that's your inarticulate, your eloquent must be remarkable ^_^

I liked it better than Miss Wyoming, which was where he hit his depth of whiny-rich-people-wanting-to-reinvent-themselves, without any of the redeeming qualities of previous books. It honestly read like a Cosmopolitan article.

Eleanor Rigby had more depth, and a bit more humanity than Coupland usually gives us, and I appreciated both. It did still seem unfocused, though, and at times I didn't really like the protagonist.

In some ways, her son saves things. He's often interesting enough to carry things.

The pacing is pretty good as well. The images are hit-and-miss.
