A review by jfranco77
The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland

3.0

I don't know... I didn't really enjoy this book. Maybe I just didn't "get" it. Maybe I'm too used to action books where things happen. There were some funny moments and I guess there were some thought-provoking moments about sadness and what it's like to be human. While the characters are not your typical characters, they are well-described and realistic. One of the other reviews for this book mentioned that they love when characters "ruminate." Well, that's what they do for most of this book, so if that's your thing, you'll probably enjoy it. I generally avoid going below 3 stars unless I truly despise a book or I don't enjoy it AND it's poorly written.
