Memoirs and Misinformation

It's impossible to rate this when but I love Jim so much and I give so many points for writing a book that is this wild.

There's the subtle hint of a deeper story of the old guard finding ways to stay relevant in a world that still reveres them even as it lumbers on and leaves them behind. There's something tragically beautiful in who they are and what they represent and how that is changing with time, but it's something only hinted at.

Some cool ideas and a very strange story.

We listened to this as an audiobook on a long drive but I would have stopped it 30 minutes in if my travel companion wasn't interested in it. (I am not a reader who feels the need to finish a book just because I've started it.) Perhaps if Jim would have read his book it could have been somewhat entertaining. I did not like Jeff Daniels as a narrator as he drawled; I found it difficult to make out what he was saying at times.

This book was not even close to what I hoped it would be. Granted, I love surprises so I didn't do any research on it. Sure, Carrey has a creative and wondrous mind, but I feel like anybody could have written this novel. Just because it was weird (and boy do I love weird things!) doesn't mean it was anything special. Quite simply, it was boring.

This is the first audiobook that made a trip feel longer. To say I was happy when it was over would be an understatement.
