This book was very different from my normal reads. I have to admit it was hard for me to get through, but it was not necessarily a bad ride. The beginning of the book was a bit slow and jumped around between characters so much, that I sometimes found myself feeling lost. Richard Arneson introduced us to many different characters right away and I felt that, in the beginning, Dick was left out. As I continued through the story and tried to ignore the lack of plot and over used references to bowel movements, I actually began to enjoy what I was reading. This really is not the book for everyone. I enjoyed the main character Dick and I loved the qualities he had, but I felt that a lot of things were hit and miss. There was too much over the top humor for my liking. Now, I am not saying this book is no good, I'm just saying it is not for everyone. Richard Arneson definitely has a talent for writing and I enjoyed reading this book, but I feel that the lack of plot and some of the crude humor was not for me. The picture that Arneson painted of Corporate America was very solid and he wrote a decent book, I would have just liked to see a bit more done with the plot and a bit more focus on Dick Citizen. All in all, check this one out if you are looking for something different and new.
