Narration In Favor Of Books Then We Came to the End

This wickedly funny, big-hearted novel about life in the office signals the arrival of a gloriously talented new writer.

The characters in Then We Came To The End cope with a business downturn in the time-honored way: through gossip, secret romance, elaborate pranks, and increasingly frequent coffee breaks. By day they compete for the best office furniture left behind and try to make sense of the mysterious pro-bono ad campaign that is their only remaining "work."

Critique Out Of Books Then We Came to the End

Hard to deny the writing skill in this onedense with little vignettes that move seamlessly between each other.It's pitching heavily for Heller, which is why the humour is so pointedly depressing, but the jokes don't crash land with the same density, I think partly because I'm delightfully fatigued by American mediocrity porn (oh wait! Are you telling me adulthood might not look how I pictured it when I was 10? Why, I never woulda thunk it! Do say why, dear chap!) also because Joshua Ferris is

In fairness, this book is more of a 2 1/2 star, but given the tyrannical nature of the star system I am forced to go with a 2. Typically, this is the type of book I like--sarcastic, cynical, and funny. I really enjoyed the first half of it, but then got bogged down by the halfway point. I've worked in an office scenario like this and easily recognized the stereotypes depicted by Ferris (part of the fun in the beginning was recognizing and assigning real life names to the characters, "Oh my God,

I know I've been giving out 5 star reviews lately like a whore on Christmas but this book blew me away. Actually, I should be more specific. Throughout the book there were moments that made me say, "Of course! I've felt that but never been able to put it into words." You can't ask for more than that in a novel. Up until the last 100 pages (especially the last 30 or so, I would've given it 4 stars. The voice made the book difficult for me to access and at times it meanders too much for my taste.

Theres a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isnt that kind of the point?- Jenna Fischer as Pam Halpert, in the series finale of The Office. Unlike the characters in the novels we read, most of us will not be tasked with catching a serial killer, surviving a zombie apocalypse, or otherwise saving the world. Most of us have workaday jobs that in terms relative to high drama are mostly ordinary. Despite being ordinary, though, they also can play enormously important roles in our lives. Thats

I was tempted to write this review in the plural first person so that you all would be impressed with how clever I am, but, fuck it, I have a novel to write and papers to grade! (Plus, what if you thought I was speaking in the royal 'we' or the blogger 'we' and the whole experiment just failed?!)Ferris displays some technical savvy in this book. The point of view tired me out on my first attempt, but a month or so later I returned to the novel with an open mind (and heart, I suppose), able to

There are some things in these pages that l cant understand. You see, I have never worked my entire life. I mean like any kind of paid work, never, silch, squat, nada, zero, nope. And when I really think about it, I think I dont want to do any kind of work. Sitting in an office doing stuff? Manual labor? Wall Street? Science shit? President-ing? The heck is that about? I dunno, seems like shit. But then you begin to think about the money. All those times you wanted to buy something but you didnt

Do you realize how insane weve all become? In the post-Dilbert world of The Office, examinations of the everyday absurdities and indignities of office culture have become more and more commonplace. But rarely are they captured with such acuity, humor and grace as in Joshua Ferris stellar debut novel, Then We Came to the End (a New York Times top 5 fiction book of 2007). Office ennui is relatively easy to portray because, lets be honest, anyone who has ever worked in an office has experienced it
