Killing Yourself to Live Analysis in Brief

Chuck Klosterman's Killing Yourself to Live was a very interesting read.

The Good:

It was very very interesting, in terms of the actual content of the story. The artists that he spoke about all had some story that was interesting.

The language of the novel was very direct and to the point, which was, in my opinion, a plus.

The Bad:

Many of the times, the artists that he spoke about I had to research. Klosterman does not give too much background into the actual artist themselves. I have to assume many readers may not have found some of this information interesting simply because they were somewhat lost as to some of the background details.

Consequently, many of the excerpts in the novel were excerpts that were difficult to actually relate to.

In Conclusion:

I really loved the style this book was written in, yet Klosterman could have had given some priority to the reader.

I would recommend this book to other students to read simply because of the rhetoric that this story was written in.

8.0/10 Overall.
