What a piece of GARBAGE . This comic is so stupid. When you boil it down, it's NOTHING but " White people do this, and black people do THIS" jokes with "Bush is stupid!" thrown into the mix. This is like an officially licensed webcomic. Not worth the money, or time to read it. And despite it's OCCAISIONAL message against racism, the jokes are usually racist. People who will enjoy this book are those who are too lazy to read a real boo

Excellent Expository Text . In _The Lacanian Subject: Between Language and Jouissance_, Bruce Fink delivers a clear and comprehensive account of the notion of the subject as it operates in Lacanian theory and clinical practice. The book's focus, of course, is much broader than this: this is a text that could serve as a superb introduction to Lacanian psychoanalysis, to be read while studying _Ecrits_ and the Seminar.    He begins by elaborating Lacan's ideas on the subject's entrance into language and the rules that govern the language as Other. Then he goes on to explicate the implications of this for subjectivity, ethics, sexuality, and psychoanalytic theory--all the while staying true to the clinical roots of these concepts. Fink provides clarification through the use of great examples, easy-to-follow schemas, a few of his own case histories, and by referring back to Freud's classic cases.    This book really helped me understand some key issues in Lacan's theoretical constellation. If you need help wrestling with Lacan's texts, _The Lacanian Subject_ is recommended. Also recommended: _A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis_ and _Lacan to the Letter_, both by Bruce Fink

Thin characterization . I agree with one the comments posted below. The main problem with this book is Mitch is a totally one-dimensional character and it's impossible to find any depth in him. Over the course of the book he doesn't change, he's unsympathetic, and by the time we've reached page 500, we don't know anything more about him than we did on page 10. I found myself dying to get to the end of this book, just so I could start another book with some substance and some well-drawn characters.    Another major problem is that most of the characters in this book use the same wise-cracking speaking style so there is no sense of the characters being different from each other in any way.    Overall, I thought this was mediocre and a bit of a waste of time
