Jim Fulner reviewed Company by Max Barry
3 stars
So I "read" this audio book after listening to Jennifer Government, Berry's previous book, and completely loving it. returnreturnHowever, this was not nearly as good. Berry's social agenda wrapped in so-called workers' rights certainly shines through again. But unlike Jennifer Government there is not the hint of truth, there is not the tongue and cheek nature of the previous. returnreturnBasically Jones gets hired by a company and he eventually realizes he doesn't know what it does. Upon further investigation no one else does either. But what important is someone stole my doughnuts months ago. And don't forget the underlying theme that corporations have no reason to make money, they just should provide jobs. returnreturnThis one's worth skipping, unless you are a union loving liberal who thinks that office workers need a union and you want a fictional adventure to re-enforce your pre-conceived notions.
