The terse recommendations that scattered over the book cover made me suspicious. Nick Hornby found the book "Terrific"? Stephen King thought it was "Hilarious"? What do those two authors have in common and why are most of the cutlines only one word? Did the publishers have to fish through longer reviews to find something positive? Why do I feel like the words surrounding King's "hilarious" are something like "I found it hilarious that anyone would think this book is worth their time"?
I may be being cruel, but everything I heard or read about the book led me to believe it would be funny. It wasn't. I was in the frame of mind to read something along the lines of NBC's "The Office," but this book is darker, not as funny, and confusing.
The book jumps around in time to tell the story of an adverstising agency on its last legs. Maybe someone who has been involved in advertising would like the book because they might recognize their colleagues therein.
