Zombie Spaceship Wasteland discussion

If you are looking for a book with a clear, concise plot and manageable characters, you might want to look elsewhere. Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, though an extremely clever, funny book, doesn't seem to have any clear plot line or story. Instead, it is a mishmash of different stories from the narrator's, stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt,life. Intermingled in these memoirs are random little bits of comedy routines that he has performed in the past, which also take on the persona of yet another life story. The stories and segments are in no way, shape or form related to one another, and there is no way of introducing a new topic, or transitioning from one subject to the next. Patton Oswalt raises creative lisence to an entirely new level, as he seems to completely ignore any rules or regulations of writing a fiction piece, such as organization and transitions. However, that may be what makes the book so funny, as the reader often finds themselves laughing aloud at their own complete and utter confusion. The author makes dozens of references for each chapter, some of which are completely unknown to the rest of the world, yet he does not take it upon himself to explain it to us. He just writes his stories and segments exactly as they are, with no extra explaining, and sometimes not even stopping for a pause in between. This book is definately a rollercoaster ride, but the jokes that I did manage to understand had me laughing out loud at his clearly brilliant mind.
