The Beautiful Bureaucrat by Helen Phillips
3.0
It was a real page turner, but I wouldn't say it was actually "good." I kept reading because it's an easy read (beach read material) and because I wanted to know how it ended... and then the next thing I knew I was on page 145 (of 180) and it just sort of ended! Josephine figures it out, she's fired, they run away. I wanted more of a resolution - what's the gender of the person with no face? why is his/her breath so bad? What is the database doing? Who operates it? When did it come about? And more questions about what the book is actually trying to accomplish, but I can't even invest that much time in thinking it through.
Easy to read, entertaining, but nothing that'll leave an imprint on me.
