He then allows himself to be "saved" by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor's life, go on to send checks to support him.

I understand why the synopsis makes the book's plot sound "childish"—because that is the literal point of the premise. It is insane. Absolutely absurd. However, if you are familiar with the author's writing, you recognize the absurdity is intentional.
It's a great synopsis that fits perfectly with the author's style, but it becomes a terrible synopsis if you aren't familiar with that context.
Can we all chill and just agree to "each their own"? Either recommend the book for its deeper subtext or simply say, "Thanks, but I'll pass."

*edit: Surprising how many people took offense at my remark? I didn't even say the book was bad, just the premise in the description
