Worst Person Ever by Douglas Coupland 100 read
of 301 Pages
Worst. Book Ever... well not ever but this month. I was really disappointed by Coupland's latest because I had liked some of this past works and this sounded interesting. Raymond Gunt is a cameraman that hasn't worked for awhile but gets a job on a Survivor Like show. A series of events tries his limited (non-existent) patience.
I understand that Gunt is supposed to be unpleasant and the novel a satire of the shallowness of modern society. However, Gunt goes beyond unpleasant, he is one-dimensional nastiness and the satire rarely escalates above that of a 12 year old boy.
