Whatever it's considered, Billy Lynn is worth reading because of its unique writing style and descriptive phrases. Besides, it's good for us sports freaks to prove we can read something besides for box scores every once in a while.
Still, serious sport nuts will not enjoy this for its football, because it's only used as a backdrop in tandem with the Dallas Cowboys to narrow in on America's opulence and obsession with entertainment. So the book talks about sports, just not positively. We could get mad at Ben Fountain for that but this book is too good for such trivialities.
Billy Lynn is a worthy literary experience and enjoyable to boot.
