Title: Not even close to Microserfs
Review: This was disappointing to say the least. I was very excited at the concept of a microserfs "sequel" and jumped in with both feet. However, right there on page one, a reference by the characters that they're in a Douglas Coupland novel. That was the biggest sticking point for me, that he had to bother putting himself into the novel, or some alter-ego. I've read them all (I think). and this one just seems quite easily the weakest of them. Bottom of the Coupland stack, glad I got it out of the library. Disjointed story even for Coupland, shallow characters, and too many pages of non-text with no decent context. Microserfs has been read and passed around, this will simply be returned to the library, maybe even late to keep people from having to suffer it.
Is the review positive or negative?
