Title: Starts with a bang, ends with a whimper
Product review: I bought this book because the first few pages (the ones you actually get to read while standing in the bookstore) are hilarious. Mr. Goldberg opens his story with an "Office Space"-esque portrayal of the inner workings of a temp agency. Unfortunately, when it's time for the plot to thicken, this novel unravels. The characters are weak, and the action is very unbelievable. By the end, I just didn't care what happened. The relationship between the lead character and his love interest is very forced and unnatural. Overall, this is a mediocre read. I occasionally go back and reread those first few hilarious pages, but there is no way I would consider reading the rest.
