Dishwasher: One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States (P.S.)

Helpful Score: 1


A man with little career aspirations decides he wants to be a dishwasher. Somewhere between job #1 and job 5 he decides he wants to wash dishes in all 50 states, on a train, in dinner theaters, and cafeterias. Aside from the protagonist, the characters are pretty flat and one-dimensional. The reader encounters various unlikable characters, one of whom becomes the protagonist's wife. The book ends abruptly with no resolution. I got this book on a whim, thinking it would be a fun read. Instead it's monotonous and repetitive. Did not like; would not recommend.
