Why does this book suck so much?

It manages to make a fascinating modern Western subculture horrendously boring.

I'm not putting much thought into this review but am still having more fun than when reading this book.

The table of contents is more entertaining than what's written in the chapters.

It's full of grammatical mistakes. Who edited this book, and how did they allow it to be published with such glaring (and consistent) errors? I feel like I'm reading some dashed-off blog post, but this is ostensibly the culmination of years of research.
