Working Class Zero

Hillarious!! Its a quick read and lots of laughs. I can relate all to well to the cubicle world that the lead character, Jay Thompson finds himself in. I love the description of the corporate world and especially his co-workers - Sport Guy and the management staff. I like the way the story weaves in his personal life , so you get a view of his live-in girlfriend, wacky friends and family. I see a lot of myself and my friends in the characters described in the book. My only criticism is that the book is too short - its a quick read and I miss the characters! I'm ordering Live By Request today. Thanks Rob, I look forward to your next book!
