One of my reading pet peeves is that I cannot stand when we’re not clued in on what’s going on until the last couple of chapters and that’s what happened here. This book had the bones of a great book with an excellent critique of American workplace culture. But overall, it fell short for me. There were some storylines that weren’t fleshed out while others were too fleshed out and there are some storylines that just completely fell off the map. I was interested enough to finish, but only barely.
