Review of 'Shampoo Planet' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I struggled to stick with this one, a bit. It seemed very disjointed to me at first, and I had difficulty remembering who the characters were.

There are some wonderful turns of phrase in this book, though, and these kept me reading to see what else Coupland would come up with. A couple of examples are "..we ordered orange juice in an extremely Marge roadside diner," [Chapter 49] and "...San Francisco and wooden houses painted the color of children's thoughts [Chapter 48]."
