XX - Worst. Person. Ever., by Douglas Coupland
WHY I PICKED IT: Coupland is generally quite great.
ELAPSED TIME: Weeks... and quit on page 74
RATING: Not Good
Wow. This book was terrible. I loved Coupland's early work almost without question. His last few, however, have been so bad that I think I may be done. Coupland is off the must-read list for me.
Raymond Gunt is an ass. A B-unit cameraman who is on a downward spiral... and his constant failures are supposed to be... Who the hell knows? I can tell you that I didn't even bother to read the last chapter to see if he turned it around. Rare is it a character that I am utterly disinterested in experiencing life in their shoes. Coupland's latest book is amongst the Worst. Books. Ever.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
