Review: A bit melodramatic and narcissistic

This was an interesting read but it made me really dislike the author.  Sorry. Some stories were interesting, but the constant theme of apathy, self-absorption, self-destruction, and no real "heart" in the main character (the author) just made me... annoyed.  And he almost seemed proud of his d-baggery.  It is well written, but sometimes the descriptive sentences seemed a little wordy and those words were sometimes a bit pretentious.  I don't really feel like rooting for a main character who just doesn't seem to give a sh*t, and doesn't seem to appreciate opportunities that were given to him.  Especially the whole going to Columbia thing, most people work so hard  to get there and are ecstatic about gaining entrance... Shubaly treats it as if he walked by Burger King one day and said "Yea, I'll put in an application there, whatever, see what happens."
