I have not read the book, but would like anyone who has to post a synopsis or review.

Also, who is doing the movie?

There once was a man named Max
who's books were better than his hacks
he wrote his latest
(some say his greatest)
and he did it without any slacks. :lol:

Heheh.

There's a list of reviews at http://www.maxbarry.com/jennifergovernment/reviews.html

Also Amazon.com's Jennifer Government page (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385507593/theofficimaxxbar) has reader reviews.

Ok, this may seem a bit critical, and Max, once I am published you may personally jab me to death. I give you permision :)

Ok, I really really liked the story line, in fact, I could not put it down. However, I think that the book relied on this and nothing else. The style is kind of non existent, as was the subtext. I think this book will make an excellent movie, but as far as literature goes, well, it needs some help. Sorry :(
I don't know, Maybe I'm just a snobby person with a BA in English (not to mention an aspiring writer). I will say that, as a native Portlander, I wanted to go thrash the main Nike campus in Beaverton (after I finished reading the book).

Five reasons I like you already:

1. You're from Portland like me.

2. You want to be a writer. (me too)

3. My dad's name is Edward, similar to your country.

4. You've actually read the book.

5. Nike sucks!
