The subtitle in this book is "a savage jouney to the heart of the American dream." I dont really understand how this represents the Amereican dream, unless the american dream is not what i thought it was. maybe i need to read farther or look deeper into the book.

The author frequently makes class and social status observations "...special guests of the GM nothing to good for the high rollers." this is obviously a sarcastic comment and afterwards he goes on to condemn the upper class. when he makes the comments however he always does it in a very back handed way. he never strait up says high rollers are pigs.

Its amazing how irresponsible the main characters are, they drive around Vegas "with a car full of marijuana and a head full of acid." this shows the characters disregard for authority and law. I'm not really sure why he so reckless although the story does indicate that he is depressed.

This book doesn't really fallow the common structure that most books do. their is little real conflict, most of it is just imagined by the main characters in their drug addled state. it sort of feels like the book has no direction. pretty much all that has happened is they have wondered around las Vegas doing a whole bunch of drugs.
