Please Be Advised

De: Christine Sneed

Narrado por: Christine Sneed

Please Be Advised is award-winning author Christine Sneed's bright, irreverent send-up of corporate America in the 21st century. Mixing cultural critique and formal inventiveness with wicked laughs and the sort of surrealistic mysteries only a novel about the corporate world could give us, Please Be Advised tracks the decline, fall, and possible resurrection of Quest Industries, one of the world's foremost purveyors of collapsible, portable, and (occasionally) dangerous office machines.

Featuring a rogue's gallery of corporate cogs from drunk, womanizing, and often-delusional CEO Bryan Stokerly, Esq. to his executive secretary, the brainy, libidinous Hannah Louise Schmidt and his soon-to-be-rival, new office manager and disgraced former coroner, Dr. Ken Crickshaw Jr., Please Be Advised will leave you laughing at a work world more like our own than most of us would care to admit.

Just not for me

I love an epistolary novel and liked the idea of this story told through funny memos. It’s definitely a smart, humorous, and poking fun at corporate memos and life. It just fell flat for me, despite wanting to make it work and being a target demographic. I really wanted to enjoy this, loved the bite size chunks for reading/listening on the go, but I just couldn’t stay with it. The performer was a little too flat, but I understand stylistically it was to mirror memo delivery. It might be your cup of tea, but it wasn’t mine.
