David Rakoff

A collection of essays provides a sardonic glimpse of American contemporary society, documenting how extreme consumerism has led to a culture of excess, greed, and vanity.

Don't Get Too Comfortable

Sarah Escorsa

I didn't enjoy reading this book at all. I can't say I had high expectations for this book since I'd never heard of David Rakoff before, so disappointment wasn't the problem. It's just that I didn't find the book funny at all and that most of the essays didn't feel quite finished. Sometimes I failed to see the point and found myself asking "what was the point of that"? Anyway, maybe I just missed the point of this book altogether or I wasn't in the mood to read that type of book, I don't know...
