2.5

The book hooks you with comical cadence, repetition, and matter-of-factness that creates a confusing albeit fascinating look into how someone outside of corporate America may see its inner workings. The book just as quickly moves into the next chapter, which follows an entirely new story with less interesting characters, a slower pace, and less reward for the read. By halfway through the book, I found myself skipping or skimming entire pages and chapters because there was nothing about the author's voice or the characters' stories that made me want to read more.
