Product Description (from Amazon UK)
Coupland's funny, spot-on portrait of the death of the yuppie. Tyler Johnson is an apocalyptic entrepreneur in the making. His memories begin with Ronald Reagan. With his neat girlfriend, smart jokes and shampoo collection, he works at the nuclear power plant where his hippie parents used to demonstrate, plotting his fortune. But fortune has other plans - the return of a Paris summer fling, one of the 'low-ambition Euro-teens', who takes Tyler on the road to the shimmering dreams of L.A.

From the first attention grabbing line I found it hard to put down this book. It's quirky and fun, pefect reading while away in icy Amsterdam between watching skaters on the frozen canals!
The only quibble is that Tyler sounds more like a beenaroundtheblock30yearold than a young inexperienced 20 year old at times.

Friend has requested it next...
