4 stars
This book was a great read and I wasn't able to put it down until finished. The author gives an accurate picture of what it feels like to be a drifter/slacker growing old. The narrators cynical and self-deprecating opinions on work, friends, women and relationships (especially the latter two) are thought-provoking and sometimes painfully identifiable.
The only problem with the book for me was that the cultural references were not all that clear. If I had been born in the early 70's I would probably have given this book 5 stars.
