I really felt like the story was blips on a map between vast stretches of boring drug episodes. its not even funny or exciting drug taking episodes. "I took [drug] and saw this ****..."
No thanks.

I can understand the criticism in that. However, I still don't believe that the book is badly written. There's never 'nothing for the characters to do' in a book, if that's the case the writer thinks of something. I just think, looking at Hunter's lifestyle, he was trying to get some of the craziness and utter self-delusion across in a humerous way. Everyone has a different sense of humour, which is why people either seem to love the book or hate it.
