Helpful Score: 5
I didn't catch this one when it originally came out, so I can't say if it's been updated at all for the 20 years since it was first published. I did notice that heroine carries a digital recorder, not a tape recorder. However, things which are ubiquitous in our lives, such as cell phones, MP3 players, computers and internet, are never mentioned; so, seeing as the text itself does not mention the year in which it is set and the book is presented as a contemporary, it has an odd timeless other world quality for me - neither 1989 nor 2008.
Nevertheless, I liked the characters well enough and I appreciated the humor. If you're looking for in depth realism, emotional or contextual, you won't find it here -- but it's an agreeable way to kill an hour -- much better than watching a sitcom on TV.
