A good friend of mine let me borrow the book, "Jennifer Government" written by Max Berry. I finished it on Thursday on my bus ride. What I'm failing to mention is that I was given this book over a year ago.
I'm debating about the direction of this post. Should I write about how much I enjoyed the characters, plot and the book in general or write about how I should never borrow anything from anyone ever because if I don't "use" the item right away it could possibly fall into my pit of "what-was-that-again"?
Probably the best "review" I can give is to say that I looked up from the book just in time to notice that the bus had stopped at my destination. If I didn't stand up and say "Hold up", I would find myself one block away from where I wanted to be. I was that absorbed in the story.
I'm sure there will be some people who will not take the fact I was so addicted to the story as fact that the book is good. I suppose I need to entice them instead with a brief synopsis of the story. Okay, here it goes:
"In the not-so-distant future, Corporations pretty much run the world. Kids go to McDonald schools, the Police are now a brand and marketing has gotten quite a bit aggressive. The story brings together an interesting cast of characters who all seem to get caught up in a very deadly marketing campaign."
I decided to talk about the book. I'll have to find another time to talk about my borrowing habits.
