This book, about a hopeless office of seemingly hopeless people in a hopeless corporate culture was obviously added to my to-read list two or three years ago, when I was a hopeless person working a dead-end job with similarly hopeless people. It started slowly but at about the halfway point, the author started doing some really cool things with the narrative voice. I don't want to give away any secrets, but here's a hint...imagine how striking a chapter that details the inner life of a main character could be after reading a couple hundred pages in the impersonal "we" voice. Pretty brilliant move, I thought. And from that point on, the book became a lot more interesting as a plot began to develop and I began to see the actions of the "we" folks with the reminder of the little bit of psychology that was revealed in that one character. You have to read the book for anything in those last couple sentences to make any sense. And there were even a couple more surprises at the end.(less)

B) It's got a lot of music history stuff woven into the plot. iii) It has some pretty cool devices by which the author tells some parts of the story again with new information Four) It has some pretty mongo plot twists and revelations. I enjoyed this book quite a bit!(less)

I can't recall another book taking so long to essentially say nothing. The author wasn't there to sell me on agnosticism. The author wasn't NOT there to sell me on agnosticism either. Or was he? How can I know? Can I know? Is it possible to have too many questions? If someone invented a new punctuation mark to indicate a raise in pitch at the end of a sentence, could it have been employed to make this book more readable to me? How can I know or evn express the relative "readability" of a work of prose? Is it even knowable? Quantifiable? If in its knowableness it is found to only be partially knowable, would I still deign to know it? Say, from henceforth all humanity decides that the comma shall also be used as an interrogative marker, how would we decide which mark to use? I shall think on it.(less)

While his 1992 worries about the environment were nothing short of prescient, his raw partisanship and the style with which he expresses it is unbecoming of someone attempting to extol the virtues of the imaginative and silly subtlety of A.A Milne's creations...(less)

(See also _A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius_ by Dave Eggers for a much more literary example with a less traditional arc.) This one got a little long-ish and bogged down at about the 3/4 mark. When a guy leaves a life of cocaine for respectable recovery, you don't really care to read a whole lot about his new day job.(less)
