KYTL: Afterthoughts

After finishing this book, it's hard to remember the story he told. I have to admit that sometimes Klosterman was really engaging and I could relate to the subtle realities he brings to light, but most of the time I was wading through the thickness of rock history, a history I couldn't really relate to. He uses this book as a way to make himself cool, and I can't really support his superiority 0r maybe inferiority complex- building. He just got too annoying and as I kept reading I just got tired of the way he told his story. I think he tried a bit too hard to make this trip out to be more than it may have been. The fact that he went alone to all of these places and visited people that are specifically special to him (the women) exemplifies how self-obsessed he is and how much he needs for everything to revolve around him--even people. It would have been different if he had took someone with him...Anyways, I wasn't a huge fan of the book, and a part from the few interesting pictures he paints of realities and relationships, I didn't really enjoy it.... -____________-
