This book is seriously great but southpark ran the core concept into the ground so hard that it damages my appreciation for the original.

I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would because picaresque novels tend to tire me out. This happened, and then this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened, and then... Apart from that, which is really more a personal reaction, I thought it was a fine piece of literature.

The first 1500 years of the novel's history are all written like that.
