I recently went and picked up this book, but it took me a while to sit down and read it. So far it's really good. I got to the end of chapter 7 and I literally said out loud "OH SHI-" Who else has read it or owns it?

That book is what this site is modeled from.
I've read it like two years ago.

It's a figure of speech that indicates disbelief, and it was here used sarcastically.

Alright! Let it go. Back to the topic, which is my Max Barry's book.

Own it. It's a damn fine read.

Own it, read it, will get the other books in a bit...

Of course I could get them a bit faster if someone would give the Mods a raise.

How's 20% suit you?

I own, read, enjoyed it pretty much. Especially the part where the clone of Ayn Rand chases Jennifer through the sewers of Moscow. Just thinking about it sends shivers through me.

I absolutely love the first chapter, the rest of the book is worth reading too.

Zero times 20% is still zero...

I've been meaning to buy it for ages, but the last time I went into A&R they didn't have it. Maybe I'll try Borders and get it cheap from a closing down sale.

I'm sure you can probably order it online. I'm not sure about that, but I wouldn't be surprised.

In any event, I've been meaning to get it for a while, too. I've just been hit with a large case of what is called "procrastination."

That's kind of what I thought. Make it 50%.

I think this is relevant.

I bought it (for a ludicrous price, considering this is Australia) and enjoyed it.

I've read his other books from libraries.

Perhaps I can put you on my payroll..........ofcourse I'll require something in return

I checked it out from my school library, I saw it I was like HOLY SHIT, I read it quick it was good

by **New Amerik** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 12:03 am

Own it, good book.

Still, my favorite part in it is where the title character is forced to team up with the clone of Ayn Rand to kill

It turned an already exciting thriller into a pure awesome action flick, and I especially loved the one section during that time when

In other words, sheer brilliance.

Gosh leave Ayn Rand alone

It was unfortunately not available in my country but I nevertheless had to get hold of it so yes. It was a bit draggy in the beginning but I find the plot quite original. A little predictable yet still interesting twist.

I haven't read syrup but Max seems to like twists as is with Company

I preferred Company, but nevertheless liked Jennifer Government too. One of my fave books.
