suzannetronier 's review for:
The Very Nice Box
by Eve Gleichman, Laura Blackett
This is a Very Nice Book that plays nicely on the fetishization of Basic Fine Objects in a culture that must ever reinvent the Useful Toothbrush to capture the imagination of the Malleable Consumer. I do feel that this aspect of the Very Nice Book became somewhat tiresome and intrusive after a while and not every Essential Daily Object needed naming. I did care about our Sensitive Damaged Protagonist with her Clearly Narcissistic Boyfriend, but didn't buy the Unforeseen Plot Twist towards the end. All in all, a Fairly Compelling Read and an Amusing Solution to Protagonist's Very Big Problem.
