Did anyone find a lot of coincidences with 'The Damnation Game' which (I think) pre-dates AG?

I wanted to amend my prior post about me not liking AG.

I don't hate it but I think it's too self important. I think it's too 'cute' style where NG thinks he's soo cool with his snappy wit or his overly long descriptions such as the friggin Purple 4-runner (etc..) like I hope the purple 4-runner is important for as long as he goes on about it. I mean (IMO) skip the whole bit and make the book 4 pages shorter if it's not important to the story (which I think it isn't so far).

Also, I don't think it's horrible, but just when it's got so much positive reviews, I was expecting something to love. If it's 'Huck Finn-esque' I think I'd rather re-read 'Huck Finn', if it's a bit like Amber then maybe I'd rather re-read that (etc..)

But that's just my opinion. I'm glad most other people love it.
