someone left this on my plane trip to sydney and i picked it up. its so refreshing after reading that piece of crap eat pray love. im anti-starbucks but i do have to say that this was a great book and it made me a little less anti starbucks. its a great story about an older gentleman who loses his successful job in advertising (his own mentor fired him) and finds himself at a starbucks one day where they happen to be conducting an open house. hes mistaken for a job applicant and ends up taking the job and starting over a very different life from the one he had. its a great story of overcoming prejudices and finding changes in ones self. its simple, an east read and reminds me a lot of mitch alboms writing. great book, and like i said, i do loathe starbucks a little less. lol.
