re: Billy Lyn's Long Halftime Walk

I had heard of the book and never wanted do read it. The title name alone, "Billy Lynn" sounds like some bad, 60's post modern novel that the author was trying to recreate in 21st century.

It's one if those novels that ivy League elitist say is the funniest thing ever written because it makes fun of southern/Texas culture, or actually what they like to think is southern culture. Of course having never even been there. When in actuality, it's probably a mildly amusing, OK novel and a bad film adaptation by a Chinese guy.
