No. I do not buy it. The characters are wooden, the social comportment is not plausible. This is the script to a catastrophy happening inside a computer simulation - maybe SimCity?

I'm sorry to shit all over small indie novelists and all, but I'm pretty sure this was the most obnoxiously self-conscious and just plain dumb book I've ever read. Sorry, Ben, but no one cares that you know who Neutral Milk Hotel and Halldor Laxness are.

So different from other things I've been reading. Feels like very much a book for my generation. Amusing, creepy, profound, sweet.

This book was such a joy to read. It was unlike anything else I have ever read. I’m not much of a person to read about quests, but this tale of three roommates who felt compelled to take their orange couch to its ultimate destination was so quirky, creative, and funny.

The story began when those three roommates, who did not know each other before and who were vastly different from each other, tried to get rid of their couch after a flood in their apartment caused by the leakage of an upstairs water bed. However, the couch had other ideas! By its weight and through some sort of reckoning by the hippie-like roommate Tree, the couch pressured the other two roommates, Thom and Erik, into having the three return it to its predestined spot.

If this sounds absurd, it is. However this is a rollicking good story and so delightful to read. The end of the book was riveting. As I got closer to the conclusion, I felt myself reading faster and faster. My only regret about this book at all is that I waited so long to read it. What an incredible debut novel it was!
