[Anonymous] gave it a9: A great book that looks at human life, second chances, and finding yourself. Well written and fun to read from start to finish
BARBARA B gave it a4: Curious tale, consciously contrived to appeal to those who read novels seeking the bizarre, strange or super cool . Little attempt to have a coherent and credible story with any plot development, hence it lags and dips and finally amounts to very little, save the obvious attempts at cleverness. About style and not much else.
I Moore gave it a4: I'm a big fan of Coupland, but this book misses the mark--NY Times review gets it right. A disappointment.
Hollis H gave it a1: This book was awful. It was even worse the second time. Doesn't this guy have anything better to do with his time than write dumb books? I mean really.
matteo s gave it a9: another thougthful provocative read from our generation's great wordsmith. a series of confusing, mesmerizing images told as only coupland can in a tale that sticks to the ribs days after it's comsumed. Not his best, but more entertaining then most everyone else's.
Jeff L gave it an8: If you like Coupland- You'll like this book!
Don gave it a10: I think it is both brilliant and hilarious!
clavdio s gave it a10: fresh, unexpected & weird common sense. beautiful electronic sensibility.
b r crandall gave it a9: perhaps i'm only a father mckenzie (intentional corny allusion here) but how can any of us NOT relate to Liz's story here. Coupland continues to spin-art wit, unbelievability, chance, hope and and memorable characters in his usual, apocolyptic, yet uplifting way. A lot of this read mimics his previous work, and towards the beginning i found myself mumbling, "you did this already, douglas," but as it went on, the whole story written was fresh in a way that totally separates coupland from all other story-tellers out there. when finishing ELEANOR RIGBY i felt reborn and a part of something bigger than the five hours i spent reading it on my overstuffed couch. how can anyone critique this? They must be writing something on their own that is far superior, or they've always been the kid at the preschool who likes to pop all the other kids' balloons.
