"Spiritually this novel is a failure. The characters at times appear so hopeless, it made me wince. Their blogs invariably revolve around a handful of leitmotivs, such as watching TV, eating, shopping, consuming drugs. Furthermore, I got the impression that the author is not at all able to distinguish between these superficialities and the more noble acts she mentions, such as finding love, raising children, engaging in meaningful work, fighting for freedom and democracy. Whatever the characters do seems to be just another failed attempt to avoid boredom. I presume that most readers will be disgusted by this farce. Fortunately."
