Review
"Moving, funny, emotional, and—in a revolutionary way—both highly-readable and avant-garde, Eat When You Feel Sad excites me very much in terms of literature and also life itself.”
—Tao Lin
“Zachary German’s nimble, catwalking, archeological, surface dwelling, emotionally unpaved prose is a thing of total wonder and my favorite drug, language-based or otherwise. Eat When You Feel Sad is so bright and pleasurable and full of excellence, it’s positively serene.”

so hot, Mar 3 2010
By David Fishkind - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eat When You Feel Sad (Paperback)
this book is good. after reading this book i feel less like committing suicide and more like preparing a meal with kale. this book actually inspired me to write a novel in the exact same style, which i then deleted, feeling satisfied.this book has mad readability. i sat down and read it in one day. some parts i read during lectures when i got bored. i never felt bored when reading the scenes. strong pacing and movement. a true 'page-turner.'
this book has funny references, strong moments of dialogue, good music, powerful interactions, and a completely original, endearing, and pacifying style.
one of the more emotional books i've read lately.

Not thrilled, Nov 2 2010

This review is from: Eat When You Feel Sad (Paperback)
At first, the way he writes is exciting because it's complicated and different. Then it just gets tiring. And then the plot never goes anywhere. And then you just want to finish it to be able to move on to something else.
