After failing to succeed as a salesman, Joe finally finds a product he can sell …

Compelling and wild

4 stars

Felt unfinished in some ways, like a lot of foreshadowing threads about the downfall of the system weren't explored, but overall an enjoyable book. It was only lightly satirical, or way dry or something. I expected it to be sillier, but it seemed almost sincere.
