The first Douglas Coupland book I ever read was Worst. Person. Ever. which my friends and I joked was the worst book ever. I don't think I would've picked up another Coupland book if my friend hadn't chosen this book to be read by our bookclub as one of her favourite books. 

This one was much better than the aforementioned book and I'm glad I picked it up. The prose is lovely, nearly poetic at points. I had some issues with the framing devices used throughout, but they were overall minor.  I've got a lot of good quotes in here highlighted. Strong themes. 

Overall I just really enjoyed this book.
