Everyone thought talking animals were funny, but then I got in trouble for calling the "plot" "lame."Before then, I didn't know "cripples" were referred to as "lame." My professor probably would have taken points off. He didn't.During my presentation, I said stuff like "generational malaise" and "inanity hyper-magnified."My classmates looked at me oddly throughout, but clapped politely at the end of the four minutes and 23 seconds I talked.Some kid with a nose tried to give me a high-five. He said that the talking dolphins sold him on the book. I wanted to punch him in his nose but didn't because of social pressure and weakness of character.Overall, I will recommend this book to people who express interest in(following is edited for clarity) those terms I referred to in my presentation. There is a heightened sense of tagged phrases (i.e. depression, existentialism, loneliness, etc) through Tao Lin's explicit, minimalistic prose. By reducing the constituent pathos into obvious statements of (tagged phrases), his characters' doldrums pervade the quaint piece of fiction through what seems to be a concentrate of seeming triviality. Nevertheless, an astute reader, tuned to a certain twenty-something wavelength, will be moved by Tao Lin's *dolphin noises.*Thanks to the [redacted]for promises of [redacted]in the form of [redacted] in return for this [redacted]. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars A bit overwhelming, but good *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2010* Immediately upon finishing "Shoplifting From American Apparel" I started reading "Eeeee Eee Eeee". I found "Eeeee Eee Eeee" to be quite similar to "Shoplifting..." stylistically, but definitely more fitting for a novel, rather than the shorter novella of "Shoplifting..."Lin plays with themes throughout the book of boredom, regret, lonliness, depression and general apathy and mixes them with dreamlike states of talking animals, an alien, the President, a few actors and other non-sequitors to propel the action through to the end. There is a general feeling of traveling through a dream-like state present throughout.The beginning of the book, in my opinion, was quite confusing, as ideas were introduced and then piled onto each other immediately. There are a few chapters in the beginning that consist of pages upon pages of non-sequitors and constantly shifting themes, locations and conversations. Thankfully, by the middle there is a little bit more of a cohesive character to the novel. At the very end things really start to take shape as some philosophical discussions develop from the President, who is an alien that is just as fed up and hopeless about life as the rest of the characters in the book.Overall I really enjoyed this book and found that once I began to read it I would plow through 70 or 100 pages in one sitting. I am definitely going to read it again, as I imagine that the dense nature of the ideas that are layered on top of each other would hold up to a 2nd or 3rd reading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2394006-eeeee-eee-eeee-paperback-may-15-2007](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2394006-eeeee-eee-eeee-paperback-may-15-2007) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
