POP your heart out.
Book Talk 7: Shampoo Planet by Douglas Coupland
Verdict: read, for a full dose of pop culture and character insanity
Oh, wow. So choked full of pop culture references, MTV, waves of fasinating characters reflecting various bizarre non-stereotypical stereotypes (crazy hippies, spaced out fantasy/sci fi geeks, French babes with bash to burn, ect. ect.), and descriptions and story telling of the strangest sort of beauty, with a lost, wavering confusion and so, so many similes and metaphors and anecdots relating one thing to something totally different with perfection, witty and funny, with dialogues bringing characters to life and radioactive landscapes and gigantic malls with ice cream. Yay, great!
