This Book is Currently in the Wild!
12 journalers for this copy...
An hilarious story about an advertising firm told entirely in e-mail messages. One of the few books I've read in the last several years that is laugh-out-loud funny.

Thank you so much pasquinade...ever since there was some talk about this book on one of the boards a few months ago I've been dying to read it. :)
Looks like a quick read, I'll slip it to the top of Mt. TBR.
Thanks Again!

Hilarious book! The characters were fantastic...towards the end of the book I found myself thinking..."yep, typical Liam!" Lol. What a unique idea for a book, using emails, or "e" as they call them. Thank you for sharing this book with me. I want to make sure it goes to someone else who wants it, so if its on anyone's wish list, I'll send it to them rather than releasing it into the wild. Or maybe a bookray? Hmm...

Handed off to cisco today at Quiznos :) Nice to meet you...I'll have to look into the meetup thing (maybe you can PM me next time there's one in the area?). Enjoy the book :)
A very special BookCrosser, Tarasdu, was kind enough to arrange an in-person handoff of this book - it's the beginning of a book ray and I plan on delving into it in September - then on to the next lucky BC'er!
What a fun read! Reminiscent of "The Office" TV program (as seen on BBC America). Finally on its way to you, Gina!
This looks like such a fun book! Got one to finish before I start it but it should be quick.
Loved it! Is there any groups of people more charming than Brits? Also, I could swear that I've worked in that very same company before, only it was an insurance company, not an advertising firm. At any rate, I've definitely worked with those people before. I'll be sending this on to barker first thing Monday.
Hilarious! Corporate back-stabbing, hi-jinks, etc. Probably even funnier if you have been associated with a public relations/advertising firm.
just received this from barker in TX as part of a bookring. I'm looking forward to jumping into this one right away!

Have been wanting to read this for quite a while. Am so glad that I can now! Will be next on my TBR pile. Thanks!
ready to mail on - just could not get into it - too bad since so many others loved it - waiting address of next person.
continuing on its journey to Ramya-NJ
I received this in Friday's mail and finished it on Saturday! The epistolary novel is an interesting form, and I think this one well done.
Most of my "laugh out loud" moments were when reading the e's from pertii -- what a stitch!
Thanks tashajean for sending and tarasdsu for lending!
I'll be sending this on as soon as I get jag624's address.

This book is now packed up and ready to be shipped. I’ll get to the PO Thursday morning and make a brief journal update once the book is actually in the mail. Thanks, tarasdsu, for sharing this book!
This book took off for Virginia this past Wednesday.
This was a very funny book; I read it in a few days. Hilarious and funny how it all turned out
This arrived in today's mail. I have a few other bookrings ahead of it but will read it as soon as I can.
I made the mistake of looking at it, and now I don't want to put it down! So I'm really looking forward to reading it - looks like a fun book.

Okay, I was bad - I finished up another book, and picked this one up instead of reading the next one in the line. It just kept calling me! It was a quick read, though, so I don't feel too guilty.
I thought it was hilarious to see the antics of folks at this ad agency. It was a great idea to use emails as the basis for this novel.
I've PMd the next person in line and hope to mail this out sometime this week. Many thanks to taradsu for starting this ray!
UPDATE - mailed 3/7

Arrived today. I absolutely LOVE the cat bookmark. Thank you.
Would you believe it but I have no books on Mt TBR at present so this is the next book to be read.

Journal Entry 24 by Mundoo from Hindmarsh Island, South Australia Australia on Thursday, May 5, 2005
What a good story. I enjoyed the antics and wondered how any work actually got done there. I had one moment of let down and that was when the in-house MTV presentation was happening, I fully expected the 'horne' video to be the staring feature due to the botch-ups that happened with everything else. But no, the standard presentation was the feature. I did love the releasing on the internet though of the 'horne' movie and will go to that web address just to see what is actually there.
Does anyone else go to web addresses mentioned in fiction books?
The characters were fully believable, all offices have them, from the goodie-two-shoes Ken to the randy LOL.
The TV advert shoot was a beauty with the weather (sunburn and typhoon) conspiring.
Probably the only loose end I would have liked to have know was where Simon disappeared to.
