Advantages: Side splittingly funny

Disadvantages: None

This is a very funny book written entrely as a series of e-mails sent between employees of an advertising agency based in London.

For anyone who has worked in an office then this is an hilarious idea for a book as it brings to life the back biting and gossip that pervades a company.

The fictional company in question is called Miller Shanks who have just put in a bid for the Coca Cola account which is a huge step up for them and it soon becomes obvious that the egos at play in this company are so big that they have lost their grasp on reality when you find out that there current clients consist of a soft porn TV channel and a sanitary towel maker.

David Crutton is the bulling head of the company who is very curt with everyone around him. There is a complete lack of loyalty at the company with everyone looking out for themselves, the creative team are more intent on either getting their leg over or getting hammered on drugs and alcohol while the creative director has run dry on ideas and resorts to stealing those of job applicants. dd to this a bunch of secretaries who are total bitches and you have the ingredients for a funny book indeed.

It is also an easy book to follow and it is very fast paced, ideal for a sunny afternoon with a nice cold drink.

.

Summary: Very funny book.
