From Publishers Weekly

Among many other reasons, Ferris's debut novel was acclaimed for its unusual point of view: the collective "we." The harried denizens of a Chicago advertising firm form a unified narrator, railing against the boredom of the American white-collar job and the dwindling of their opportunities at the company in the post-Internet bust. Reading a book with such tricky narration is a complex task, and Deanna Hurst, while game, is not quite up to the task. Hurst reads flatly, with little sense of the engaging rhythms of Ferris's comic prose. This abridged version of Ferris's novel often feels heavier, and longer, than the wonderfully light-footed original. Hurst just doesn't quite get the joke. Simultaneous release with the Back Bay Books paperback (Reviews, Jan. 8, 2007).

From AudioFile

Fans of "The Office"--American or British--will enjoy Joshua Ferris's take on working life. This debut novel is written from a plural first-person viewpoint, which is a bit odd at first but soon becomes transparent and integral. Ad agency employees struggle to create a humorous breast cancer awareness campaign while dodging the lay-off ax. The characters are recognizable office personalities, and Deanna Hurst's narration gives each character life without going overboard with different voices for dialogue. In other words, like the characters themselves, the voices all sound different and the same, simultaneously. With Hurst playing Ferris's dry, sharp humor perfectly, listeners will be sorry to hear the story come to an end.

3.0étoiles sur 5 NOT Like "The Office" In Book Form, Aoû 4 2007
Par Just J (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I picked this up, thinking it was basically 'The Office' in book form.

It's not.

Ultimately, you don't really care what happens to any of the characters and I don't think it really rings true to what it's like working in an office. There were none of those moments where you chuckle to yourself and think, 'Yeah. I've thought that before, too.'

Don't get me wrong: it's perfectly readable, but it's not a page-turner and it's not particularly funny. I felt like this book was overrated.

2.0étoiles sur 5 "Then we came to the end" - but it took too long, Oct. 27 2008
Par Stephen Bailey (Vancouver, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I really wanted to love this book. I had read several reviews that promoted it, and I was very confident I would love it. Unfortunately, my expectations were far too high. Had this book been half as long, which I argue it could be, I would probably have enjoyed it far more. But I ended up continuing to pick it up and work away at it just to finish it and start another one. I know people like it, so I feel a little bad, but it was just too long.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Entertaining but you'll forget about it in a month, Juil 23 2008
Par Lyra Tallis (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I picked this book up without ever having heard of it or the author before. It was actually the reviews that are plastered all over the book that caught my eye. They go on about how this is the funniest book to come out in a long time, various famous authors rave about it, etc etc.

In fact this book is entertaining and you're definitely in familiar territory (if you've ever worked in an office). The bit about the chair swapping is quite funny. But when it comes down to it, it's forgettable. It's a quick read and moderately funny and entertaining though I wouldn't suggest it for the beach if you're looking to get away from work... There's nothing in here that's groundbreakingly original. You'll forget you read it in a month or two.
