So I finally finished this book and I'm reminded once again why I don't read contemporary fiction. I read this for a book club and based on the title I thought there was a chance I might like it. It did have some great stuff in there regarding what work is really like, so good in fact I'm sorry the overall plot ruined it. It seems everyone thinks they have a murder mystery novel in them. Also, he just uses absurdity for absurdity's sake.

Quite possibly the most absurd and laugh-out-loud book I've ever read. Also, one of the best opening paragraphs of all time.
