Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Ein durchaus witziges Buch mit einem bissigen Humor und einem Hauch von Realität - genau das, was man lesen sollte, wenn man sich im Urlaub gemütlich zurücklehnen möchte. Etwas konfus machten mich zeitweilig die vielen verschiedenen Personen, die ich auch nicht immer auseinander halten konnte. FAZIT: Ein gelungenes Buch für lustige Stunden... und Agenturleben live!

Reissue of the funniest book of 2000: two weeks in an advertising agency trying to land the Coca-Cola account, told in office emails.e is a tapestry of insincerity, backstabbing and bare-faced bitchiness -- just everyday office politics.Meet: A CEO with an MBA from the Joseph Stalin School of Management A director who is a genius, if only in his own head Creatives with remarkable brains, if only in their trousers A copywriter with the two things an adwoman should never let show -- underarm hair and a conscienceConsisting entirely of emails, e spends a few weeks with Miller Shanks as it attempts to land the holy grail of advertising, the account the staff would sell their collective grandmothers to acquire. This is one pitch that nobody will ever forget... No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The key element to the humor is the duplicitous nature of the main characters. In the personal e-mails to each other, we see what they really think, and in the business e-mails, and to contrast, the business e-mails are all brown-nosing and have the forced quality of many official e-mails.
There also several running jokes, such as the agency president's e-mails getting diverted to the Finnish office, and the many amorous liaisons among the underlings.
What I found surprising that Beaumont was able to flesh out the characters so well. Every one of the characters has a unique voice and as the book progressed, I found myself cheering when something bad happened to Simon, the conniving creative director.
I whole-heartedly recommend this book to all. ( )
