The Learners by Chip Kidd
3.0
As much as it pains me to say it, I was really disappointed in [b:Chip Kidd|28756|The Cheese Monkeys A Novel in Two Semesters|Chip Kidd|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167956353s/28756.jpg|1363319]’s The Learners, a follow-up to his phenomenal book Cheese Monkeys.
The Learners picks up with Happy, the main character from Cheese Monkeys all graduated from State and trying to get a job at Spear, Rakoff & Ware in New Haven, Connecticut the same ad agency where Happy’s professor and idol Winter Sorbeck got his start. However, the Happy in this new novel doesn’t feel like the same character from the earlier novel. In fact, none of the characters feel real. They’re all drawn with broad strokes, known for a few quirks but never given any real depth.
