If you have, had or think about having a job, this is a must read book. It is a stream of conscientious style writing so one can get exhausted reading.
The narrator sees and hears all. The point of view changes quickly and from one character to another. All the office personalities are there in their cubical.
The world of cubes and offices and the politics of people working together. And then there was an economic slow down and business slows with it.
The specific work of the book is an advertising firm, but it could be any place with several employees. The office intrige and gossip and rumors.
One of their own is in danger and other is almost (maybe) strees to the breaking point. And what difference does it make.
There are funny parts and a somewhat quick read. Several of readers have mentioned it as a good book and one referenced it as a great book. Definitely makes one think about purpose and office relationships. How well do we know the people we work with on a daily basis?
If you have a book club this would generate some lively conversation. I think everyone who has ever worked in any business environment will recognize some ot the people and maybe yourself.
