A funny satire

A funny satire of the advertising, publishing, and fast food industries.This novel is pretty funny (in the Mark Twain sense, not the Adam Sandler sense). It is also surprisingly touching at times. Be patient through the first 20 or so pages. They are confusing because the narrator refers to characters and events that occur later in the book without any explanations. The narrator is very confused at the beginning. Once the narrator's mind clears, after the first chapter, the storyline is perfectly clear and very entertaining.I eagerly await the publication of "Fever 42", the novel mentioned in the 'About the Author' section of this book.
