I really wanted to like this book, but now that I've read it I can't say that I did. I found the tropes in it interesting, but the writing style got in the way most of the time, making it very hard for me to follow. I understand that the style was supposed to match the narrative, but its chaotic structure combined with the numerous internet references made the book very inaccessible to me. Almost a DNF. For what it's worth, I think this is a good book, but I'm certainly not in its target audience.
