The way I read it, this book to me is above all a satire of modern society. There were some things that really made me smile, due to how true they are even after all the years since the book has been published. Though the focus is on the lunacies of american society in particular, I think many of these lunacies can be increasingly found in almost any so called 'modern' country (unfortunately).
Don't look for much depth in the characters either, they seem to be more like caricatures than real people, and given the tone of the book I really believe it was intended as such.
I don't know what to think of this book overall, not the story nor the ending, hence I don't have a clue to who I'd recommend it to. People who'd like a truly unpredictable book perhaps? Maybe someday I'll reread it, and come to understand it better (or maybe there's nothing more to understand here). ( )
