| Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom |
 ISBN: 076530953x LibraryThing | I sympathize with the other LibraryThing reviewer who had trouble finding characters to like in this novel. This book isn't very long, but took me ages to read because the main character is so whiney. The whole story seems to revolve around how he's never happy, and that didn't work for me. I think the underlying ideas are interesting, but I just hated Julius so much that I didn't enjoy the book.
There is an interesting reference to Snow Crash on page 97 though.
