Not as good as I’d hoped.

I could have done without the countless references to the author in the book. Maybe if I’d been reading Coupland for years I’d be part of the cult, but it was all too smug. I wanted more of the “management are nuts” stuff, less jet-setting to everywhere on Kam’s behest.

I might have dug the puzzles more if I wasn’t sick with the flu. As it was, they just ended up being a LOT of pages to turn through. Maybe I have to hand in my nerd points.

Is Microserfs better, Coupland fans, or more of the same?

I wouldn’t have rated this “wishy washy” if it wasn’t by Coupland. I have crazy high expectations for him, because he’s written so many other AMAZING books. If this was by somebody else, I would have been pretty impressed. It was mainly the ending (just too… neat and tidy?) that made this one lose the most points, which is always disappointing, and puts the rest of the story in a bad light.

I made a film -Dougie agreed. We all had fun. You should watch it; only 4 mins of your life!
