I found the book to be an interesting Satire, although, unlike classical satires the authors did not stay "in character" the entire time, and even at one point made a reference to a website of theirs. Overall, it was good, and although there were moments of... bad taste, most of it was an amusing and ironic veiw of America. I appreciated it.
