I first saw a review for this book in a magazine and was inexplicably motivated to read it. I bought it with the expectations of a fun and easy read, however, as I became further involved in this book I found myself attached to the depth of the characters. I was truly amazed at Ferris' ability to describe dismal, melancholic work lifestyles in a humurous way. If you are someone who spends 45 hours of your week in an office better thought as a circus, you will appriciate this read.
