Jpod, by Douglas Coupland

Jpod is the second book I tried to read that is written by Douglas Coupland the first one i tried was “The Gum Thief” and I had to give up on that one it was do difficult for me to follow. With Jpod I did better and i even finished it :)

The story of Jpod is about a guy Ethan who works at Jpod a where they develop computer games. From there the book go’s all over the place from drugs money to trips to China and from Ballroom Dancing to acting. Jpod is a strange book to read specially because the book also has a lot of pages that don’t really ad to the story. Like pages of pi and lots of letters to Ronald McDonald and of course they add something to the story but the story is the same if you skip them.

At this point in time i have to say that reading Jpod was fun but in a strange way. And after reading Jpod i don’t think that another Douglas Coupland book will be at my to read list for a while.

If you like strange stories and a bit of tech then maybe have a look at Jpod it will definitely keep you busy for a while ;)

check out a great deal on JPod at Amazon.
