The writing was compelling, and fully captured the feeling of a manic ride, but the characters were unlikeable, and the plot was severely lacking.  Through the story, our main character went on three manic road trips where he did various immoral and/or illegal activities, and dressed it up with 'deep meaning' (he was stoned).  I didn't like the book at all, and I'm not sure that it was even a good book to have read.
