Snesgirl (United Kingdom) (2006/10/04): Back cover info: Starting a new job can be extremely stressful./ You meet your colleagues and forget their names. Yuo meet your boss and forget his name. Then, after breaking a the photocopier, you forget your own name.And the next day you get to do it all again. But what if your new employer is not the pen-pushing paper-shuffling outfit you supposed it to be? What if it is an elaborate front for comething more sinister? Not that Paul Carpenter, new recruit at J. W. Wells & Co would even notice. He's become obsessed with wooing the enigmatic Sophie, a bizzare angular woman with all the sexual appeal of a hole punch.
Kim (Australia) (2009/06/10): I was humming and haaring over whether or not to bother buying this from our local second-hand bookshop but I decided to go for it ... sooooo glad I did! This guy is a serious wit :) The storyline on the back cover sounds a bit lacking in substance but it is truly a funny, interesting, left-of-centre book. LOVED IT! and happy to pass on the love ;P Kim
