I read it on my own and didn't really like it but I'm not American so I think that made it difficult to fully understand how it's supposedly a "critique/commentary on the American dream"? Still rated it 4 stars on Goodreads, though. It wasn't bad just confusing and kind of pointless *to me with my limited perspective*. I know it's supposed to be deep, though, and had heard some things about why it's significant before I read it, just couldn't pick out what any of the elements really meant when I read it, though.
