poor peety peecup, destined to go through life half empty (or only half full, either way, it's gross)
the mental meanderings of a nerd in the twin cities who has a family and a bike and some other stuff...

it's as if... the rest of the world
was just painted with a different palette
and rendered with a different level of focus
than she was...

JPod by Douglas Coupland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An odd flow for a book (at times) but it really works. The pages with odd typography and the inclusion of the spam e-mail created an internet-esque stream of consciousness.
Coupland's appearance in the book is an interesting device. I was totally surprised when he showed up, but I it was foreshadowed a little.
The end? Eh... maybe not the greatest, but there were a ton of great hooks throughout the book, e.g., the team's little competitions. He also took characters who do some pretty outrageous things and showed you their human side. There are many shades of grey, even the douchey Steve has a soul.
