Title: A fun little book
Review: This was a very enjoyable story that didn't seem to take itself too seriously. It was a nice touch adding the little tidbits at the beginning of each chapter about various fads that have come and gone throughout history, though I did not always agree with her commentary about them. Her underlying message about how many people in our culture are unable to think with much originality and are not even aware of their predicament was well founded. As a school teacher I see this everyday in the microcosm of my classroom. Her portrayal of corporate mentality has a certain Dilbert-like quality to it that I'm afraid may not be as exaggerated as I hope it is. The only thing I found irksome - and this is a small quibble - It seemed that every waitress/waiter/and assistant she encountered rolled their eyes at the drop of a hat! I would be fuming if I ran into as many rude people as our intrepid scientist did.
