Jennifer Government (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" I'm torn over the rating to give this book. It was very well written and highly intriguing. It portrays an alternate reality that is highly believable and well thought out. However, those facts are also what makes this a damn scary book. Our reality could very easily be this alternate reality. It's something to think about. "

" Regulatory oversight committees are much more exciting in the future. "

" This strange tale was a good read, but that says it all. "

" sooooo scary because it's soooo around the corner. "

" A quick, minorly insightful read. Nothing too terribly spectacular. "

" Fast and fun. A fairly plausible glimpse into what a libertarian's wet dream might look like - a nightmarish scenario for a glassy-eyed liberal such as myself. ;) Not a perfect book - there were some action-movie cliches and the likelihood of the characters crossing paths so often in so many wild scenarios spread out all over the world is low to say the least - but still, a very entertaining read with a valuable message. "

" clever idea, funny execution, unltimately only vaguely satisfying. "

" I love this book, such a good concept, and scarily probably quite an accurate prediction for the future! It was first recommended to me in a marketing lecture at uni, but I've since recommended it to friends for the pure enjoyment of it! "

" Funny; a bit silly. Not terrifically plausible, but an entertaining read. "

" Beats you over the head with any messages the author is trying to convey. Everything that happens is outrageously farcical, and not in a good way. Not a fan. "

" A good, fast, fun book to read. I'd started this and made it half way before...must have gotten busy..but glad to find it and give it another read. Nothing too earth shattering, but a good book. "

" I wish I'd read this book when I was 12. I like the dystopian flavor, but the plot was a little light. "

" Hilarious, and kinda scary. Great satire, great look into one of our possible futures. Highly reccommend. "

" Wacky, skewed vision of the future where corporations have free reign. "

" Interesting premise but wraps up a little too neatly at the end. "

" Funny book set in the near future. "

" The ride is incredible, the ideas are hilarious and just a little plausible, and the characters are lovably over-the-top. If 1984 and Brave New World form two points on a dystopic triangle, this is the best I've come to the third. "

" Somewhat off the wall, but otherwise fantastic. Fast paced, plenty of twists. Graphic & violent, yet funny. "

" Jennifer Government by Max Barry (2004) "

" Intersting take on a possible future of capitalism. Not the best sci-fi ever, but different and a good read. "

" One of my favorite cyberpunk novels. "

" Interesting look at a future world. "

" Totally recommend the book because it shows a insanely interesting dystopian future, where people belong not to countries, but to companies, and where marketing skills are the only important assets to survive. "

" If you get confused with names NO NOT READ THIS BOOK you will never know who is who... believe me it will mess with your brain. "

" Very cool concept of a corporate future. "

" I really liked the idea and the book was a fun read. "

" Good read, The story line kept me hooked the whole way through. "

" A really interesting concept. Characters were engaging, and written in a clear, honest manner. "
