What Members Thought
I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. BJ Novak writes with such wit, a healthy dose of sarcasm and a lot of keen observation. I thought it was clever how I listened to one story, then a few stories later there’s a subtle reference to that story. Just clever and fun.
Blerg. I'm sure there is a gem story in here somewhere, but I am not going to read the whole pretentious book just to find it. Even though it is about 200 pages it just isn't worth it to finish.

Some total gems in this but mostly just good not great.
If I could rate this 3.5 stars, that would be the right rating for me.
Some of the stories are fabulous. Some are alright. Some, I felt, missed their mark. The good news is, none of the stories were more than a few pages long, so if they missed the mark, you only had to endure a little while longer. :)

I expected this book to be funny but did not understand most of the stories. Tough book to listen, which is disappointing for the people that were involved.
A solid 3 1/2-3 3/4 stars. Thoroughly enjoyable.
