Journal Entry 1 by Plum-crazy from Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Things aren't going well for Joseph Geist. He's broke. His graduate school advisor won't talk to him. And his girlfriend has kicked him out of her apartment, leaving him homeless and alone. It's a tough spot for a philosopher to be in, and he's ready to give up all hope of happiness when an ad in the local paper catches his eye. 'Conversationalist wanted', it reads. Which sounds perfect to Joseph. After all, he's never done anything in his life except talk. And the woman behind the ad turns out to be the perfect employer: brilliant, generous, and willing to pay him for making conversation.
Before long, Joseph has moved in with her, and has begun to feel very comfortable in her big, beautiful house. So comfortable, in fact, that he would do anything to stay there-forever.

I've had this book a while & kept thinking about moving it on unread as I didn't think I'd like it (so why did I buy it in the first place, I ask myself?) Anyhow, surprisingly it was quite an addictive read, while some of the philosophy passed me by on the whole I was quite gripped. An interesting story around the nature of freewill showing how people don't always react to a situation as they would expect themselves to - I did find myself going "Noooo...what the hell are doing Joseph"!
Only one criticism...what was actually wrong with Alma?
Give it a go, like me you may be pleasantly surprised ;o)
